1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study is a feasibility trial to assess whether, in a random sample of 180 agencies where PulsePoint is already active, revised procedures (hereinafter PulsePoint-OD) to facilitate opioid overdose and naloxone distribution (OEND) can successfully recruit first responder agencies and layperson responders. For this study, agency refers to a single implementation site where PulsePoint is active and that is bound by the service area or jurisdiction of the first responder agency collaborating with PulsePoint. The study will test the following hypotheses: H1: more first responder agencies will be successfully recruited by arm 2 than by arm 1. H2: more layperson responders will report engaging with OEND programming in arm 2 than in arms 1 or 3 and in arm 1 than in arm 3 \[only this hypothesis is covered by the IRB, hypothesis 1 is not human subjects research\].
