372 Perceptions, Use, and Behaviors Surrounding the Receipt of a Naloxone Kit for Patients with Opioid Use Disorder in an Urban Emergency Department

Abstract

Nationwide, emergency departments (ED) are evolving to include take home naloxone kit programs in response to the opioid epidemic. The impact of these programs has not been thoroughly studied. Our study objective was to gain insight into perceptions and behaviors associated with the utilization of these kits among people with opioid use disorders in an urban ED.
