Naloxone
FCS8-129: Naloxone
Authored by: Alex Elswick
Abstract
Overdose deaths surpassed car accidents in 2016 as the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. In 2021, the U.S. experienced more than 100,000 overdoses. That is twice the capacity of most major college football stadiums, and every single overdose is preventable. While research shows that there are many ways to reduce overdoses and overdose deaths, the most effective is access to naloxone.
