Abstract

Objective: This study's goal was to explore students' perceptions of naloxone distribution for treatment of opioid overdose (OD) and whether they believe it is an acceptable intervention for college campuses.

Methods: Mixed methods study (online survey and semi-structured qualitative interviews). Survey participants (n = 614) were randomly recruited through a university listserv. Interview participants (n = 16) were recruited through convenience sampling.

Results: Most participants supported naloxone distribution (84.5%), 17.1% had witnessed an overdose, and 44.2% knew of someone who had died of a fatal drug overdose. Positive perceptions about naloxone, level of familiarity with people who use drugs (PWUD), and lower stigma toward PWUD were all significantly associated with support for naloxone distribution. Interview findings reveal students are familiar with OD and substance use and they desire low/no barrier access to naloxone on campus.

Conclusions: Naloxone distribution is an accepted intervention on college campuses. Recommendations for implementation are provided.

“这对我来说是显而易见的。”大学生对纳洛酮分布认知的混合方法分析。
目的:本研究的目的是探讨学生对纳洛酮分布治疗阿片类药物过量(OD)的看法,以及他们是否认为这是一种可接受的大学校园干预措施。方法:混合方法研究(在线调查和半结构化定性访谈)。调查参与者(n = 614)是通过大学名单服务随机招募的。访谈对象采用方便抽样法(n = 16)。结果:大多数参与者支持纳洛酮分发(84.5%),17.1%的参与者目睹了过量用药,44.2%的参与者知道有人死于致命的药物过量。对纳洛酮的正面认知、对用药人群的熟悉程度(PWUD)和对PWUD的较低耻耻感都与支持纳洛酮分发显著相关。采访结果显示,学生们熟悉吸毒过量和药物使用,他们希望在校园里低/无障碍地获得纳洛酮。结论:纳洛酮是一种可接受的大学校园干预措施。提出了实施建议。
