Translation of Opiate Overdose Prevention Strategies
Prescription opioid overdose represents a public health crisis. A number of efforts have been
implemented to address opioid prescribing and opioid risk mitigation strategies for
prescribers, but relatively few efforts have sought to address this problem directly with
individuals who use opioids. This gap likely fails to fully address the inherent reinforcing
nature of the medications that make it challenging to reduce use.
The specific aim of this study is to pilot test a toolkit that pairs an intervention with the
distribution of naloxone. External facilitation (supervision check-ins) will aid translation
to delivery by non-research staff. Firstly, data will be collected from participants over
time as a control group, prior to training site staff. Next, non-research staff will be
trained on the intervention. Staff at the site will use the online "toolkit" developed in the
beginning of this project to deliver the interventions and naloxone to their clients/patients
as part of usual care. After staff at the site(s) are trained, additional data will be
collected from participants during the intervention period and after 3-months.

Based on feedback from non-research site staff, the OPT-IN Project implementation package was
tailored for optimal delivery in the site setting. The translation strategy will be evaluated
using the RE-AIM framework, which includes Reach (e.g., number of individuals receiving
intervention), Effectiveness (e.g., patient/client outcomes), Adoption (e.g., numbers
trained), Implementation (e.g., fidelity of intervention delivery) and Maintenance (e.g.,
sustained in routine practice over time) with mixed qualitative and quantitative methods with
intervention recipients.
