“All You Can Do is What You Know to Do”: Naloxone Knowledge and Uncertainty Among People Who Use Drugs in Maryland amid a Volatile Drug Market
People who use drugs serve an important role in community-based overdose reversal. Leveraging their experiential knowledge of overdose with technical knowledge of naloxone is foundational to effective community-based naloxone dissemination. Harm reduction programs should ensure that educational materials describe technical aspects of overdose response in ways that are intuitive to the experiences of people who use drugs, as well as ensure materials are responsive to an evolving drug supply.
