Impediments to uptake and diffusion of take-home naloxone

该项目旨在调查阻碍“带回家”纳洛酮（THN）吸收的障碍，该药物可逆转阿片类药物过量。阿片类药物过量是澳大利亚的一个主要健康和社会问题。在澳大利亚的一些城市，存在向阿片类药物消费者提供THN以逆转过量的方案，但澳大利亚的吸收仍然很少。其原因尚不清楚。该项目将采访阿片类药物消费者，处方者和药剂师，以更好地了解THN，并制作有关过量和THN经验的在线资源。其目的是向受过量使用影响的人、专业人员和更广泛的澳大利亚社区宣传THN，以支持THN的分发，拯救生命和保护社区。

This project aims to investigate impediments to uptake of ‘take-home’ naloxone (THN), which reverses opioid overdose. Opioid overdose is a major health and social problem in Australia. Programmes to provide opioid consumers with THN to reverse overdose exist in some Australian cities, but uptake in Australia remains minimal. The reasons for this are not well understood. This project will interview opioid consumers, prescribers and pharmacists to better understand THN, and produce an online resource on experiences of overdose and THN. The aim is to inform those affected by overdose, professionals and the wider Australian community about THN, to support THN distribution, save lives and protect communities.
