Naloxone Survey:
We are inviting you to participate in a short, voluntary survey that seeks to better understand your perceptions, awareness, and experiences regarding naloxone, a medication to reverse opioid overdoses. This study will help determine the extent to which the distribution of free naloxone kits to the general public contributes to harm reduction by the early treatment of opioid poisonings/overdoses. This study is being conducted by a medical student from the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Wichita in collaboration with DCCCA. The survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. No personal or identifying information will be collected.
DCCCA is providing free naloxone (Narcan) nasal spray, fentanyl test strips and training to community organizations and any Kansas resident. DCCCA is funded for this project by the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) through the State Opioid Response (SOR) grant initiative and the First Responder-Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (FR-CARA) from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
*This program offers free Naloxone/Narcan contingent upon continued Federal, State & Local Funding and available supply*
Naloxone is an opioid overdose reversal drug that counteracts the life-threatening effects of an opioid overdose. Naloxone is available to any resident or organization in Kansas upon request.
