The research presented in this article examines the extent to which naloxone dispensation at public health vending machines (PHVMs) was associated with changes in opioid-involved overdose fatalities in Clark County, Nevada.

National Harm Reduction Coalition’s Medical Director Dr. Kim Sue joins various guests from programs across the country to highlight the importance of low-barrier access to medications for opioid use.

When considering a strategy like harm reduction vending machines it is critical to understand community context and to get buy-in from staff, key community stakeholders, partners, and program participants. To help with this, Bloomberg American Health Initiative fellows Callie Kaplan, Zach Kosinski, Nicole Barnes and Erin Russell, under the guidance of Dr. Susan Sherman, created a readiness toolkit to support agencies, community-based organizations, and advocacy groups to make informed decisions about the use of harm reduction vending machines in their communities.

This flyer created by Prescribe Safe Monterey County is translated into Spanish providing advice around fentanyl, its potency, and harm reduction safety tips.

What steps can communities take to engage youth in overdose prevention? The following summary provides concrete examples of data-driven strategies to address rising rates of overdose among youth. Case studies were drawn from overdose prevention coalitions participating in the California Overdose Prevention Network (COPN) Accelerator 3.0 Program. These can serve as models for other coalitions and organizations across the country.

The National Harm Reduction Coalition (NHRC) worked with California Overdose Prevention Network (COPN) funded multi-sector coalitions throughout the state in 2022 and focused on supporting coalitions in harm reduction services and approaches for youth. This handout is of the key highlights from the COPN Accelerator 3.0 Program of coalitions working NHRC and implementing harm reduction services for youth.

The California Department of Public Health Overdose Prevention Initiative (CDPH OPI) shares recommendations and resources to statewide partners in response to increases in drug overdoses statewide. Each recommendation lists resources by partner type (public safety, public health departments, community-based organizations, health care providers and settings, harm reduction organizations, medical examiners and coroners, and public health and forensic laboratories). Identify your partner type and review the resources for local overdose prevention and response implementation. The CDPH OPI team will continue to update this webpage with new information and resources as needed.

NEXTDistro is an online and mail-based harm reduction service designed to reduce opioid overdose death, prevent injection-related disease transmission, and improve the lives of people who use drugs.

This short video shows a flyer that the Northern Sierra Coalition used to get information out about pain medications and naloxone.

This fact sheet covers the main discussion points and answered questions from the COPN webinar “Naloxone Supply in California.”

This fact sheet answers frequently asked questions about fentanyl, buprenorphine, and the impact fentanyl has on overdose prevention efforts.

Use this toolkit from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to share information about the risks of fentanyl and how to prevent overdose.

Access to naloxone isn’t just a funding issue. Barriers to accessing low-cost naloxone are a result of the decades-long war on drugs. This organization is working to eliminate barriers from three different angles: distribution, technical assistance, and research.
