Naloxone Dispensing to Youth Ages 10–19: 2017–2022
Pediatricians and other youth-serving clinicians can play an important role in expanding access to naloxone and harm reduction information by prescribing naloxone to all youth who are at risk for overdose. Clinician prescribing of naloxone can augment community distribution and over-the-counter access by making naloxone more widely available at all touchpoints with the health care system.
