Naloxone Use, 911 Calls, and Emergency Visits After Nonfatal Overdose
In this cross-sectional study of survivors of drug overdose, fewer than half of recent overdose events did not culminate in a visit to the ED. These results suggest that policies to improve postoverdose outcomes must simultaneously focus on people who engage with emergency medical services and on those who do not seek formal medical care.
