Massachusetts was among the first states to allow standing orders to facilitate pharmacy-based naloxone purchase and reduce opioid overdose deaths. We conducted a unique purchase trial to establish a valid measure of standing order naloxone in Massachusetts, using purchasers from two high priority populations to determine whether naloxone is less accessible to those who use illicit opioids than other potential purchasers. A random sample of 200 retail pharmacies was selected from a statewide list. Each pharmacy underwent two purchase attempts - one by a person who used illicit opioids (PWUIO) and one by a potential bystander who did not use illicit opioids but had a relationship with someone at risk of opioid overdose. Purchases were conducted in accordance with a detailed purchase protocol between May 2018 and April 2019. Matched pairs analysis was used to identify statistically significant differences in purchase outcomes and experiences by purchaser type. Overall, 322 of 397 purchase attempts (81%) were successful, with no significant difference between PWUIO and bystanders (p=.221). Most purchases (93%) resulted in acquisition of single-step nasal naloxone (NARCAN; median cost $133.38). Forty percent of purchases included state-mandated verbal counseling, and PWUIO were significantly less likely to receive counseling than bystanders (30% vs. 51%, p<.001). Common reasons for failed purchase were not stocking naloxone (47%), price >$150 (25%), and requiring a prescription (15%). Chain pharmacies were significantly more likely to sell naloxone than independent pharmacies (86% vs. 53%, p<.001). We documented high levels of naloxone access for both PWUIO and bystanders, suggesting Massachusetts could serve as a model for states seeking to improve pharmacy-based naloxone access. Additional implementation efforts should focus on expanding availability at independent pharmacies and supporting pharmacies in proactively offering naloxone to PWUIO and other high-risk individuals.
