Clinical trial for Opioid Overdose Prevention
Official title Reducing Overdose and Substance Use-related Stigma by Training Non-substance-using Friends and Family Members of People Who Use Opioids to Be Harm Reduction Champions
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06823453
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study will see if teaching non‑users to become harm‑reduction champions helps people who use opioids get more services, use fewer overdoses, and feel less stigma.
- Who it's for
- It looks for older adults who use opioids living in West‑side Chicago and a friend or family member who does not use drugs.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive training on naloxone, fentanyl test strips, and how to talk about harm‑reduction. They will then have a counselor‑led conversation with the opioid‑using friend or family member and both will get the kits.
- Time commitment
- The program lasts a few weeks, with a few training sessions and a follow‑up conversation, and participants will keep the naloxone and test strips for ongoing use.
