Freely available naloxone reduced fentanyl overdose deaths

The Vancouver Sun mentioned UBC in a story about a study that examined the impacts of a program that hands out anti-overdose drug kits in B.C.

The study stemmed from a model developed by UBC’s Institute of Applied Mathematics and the BC Centre for Disease Control to estimate how well public-health interventions help prevent opioid overdose deaths.

The story also appeared in The Province and a similar story appeared on Breakfast Television at the 1:20 mark.
