About this study
Official title: Evaluation of an Experimental Educational Module on Opioid-related Occupational Safety to Minimize Barriers toOverdose Response Among Police Officers
Overdose deaths are currently the largest cause of accidental death in the US and opioid-related overdose deaths constitute the overwhelming majority of these deaths. Demands for a knowledge-base for effective law enforcement interventions is growing. This proposed study is designed to provide a knowledge base regarding key obstacles and facilitators of the willingness and preparedness of police to administer naloxone and related risk reduction practices and evaluate the efficacy of a web-based opioid-related occupational safety and risk reduction curriculum. Findings from this study will be applied to the development and implementation of effective interventions for police officers aimed at harmonizing law enforcement practices with public health goals.
Read the detailed description
This application proposes to contribute to the harmonization of law enforcement practices and public health goals to combat rising morbidity and mortality rates associated with opioid-related overdose (OD). Police departments around the U.S. are increasingly making the OD reversal drug, naloxone, available to their officers. This intervention has the potential to greatly improve emergency response after an OD. The proportion of precincts mandating that officers carry naloxone remains small, however, and barriers remain that make adoption of these first-responder programs problematic. Lawsuits from police unions contesting naloxone- related mandates and occupational safety concerns, including the potential for needle stick injuries (HIV/HCV risk) and incidental contact with fentanyl-class substances, constitute barriers, as do stigma and concerns about legal jeopardy. The study team proposes to equip police with best-practices for minimizing workplace harms related to encounters with PWUO/PWID and the legal and practical knowledge to respond confidently to an OD without fear of legal jeopardy as well as reduce health risks to PWUOs and PWIDs associated with law enforcement. More than 10,000 law enforcement officers in Pennsylvania (roughly one third of all PA officers) have already received naloxone and OD response training from GetNaloxoneNow.org (GNN), a web-based intervention. With the support of county departments of health, harm reduction agencies, law enforcement, and district attorneys, the team proposes to adapt extant interventions for police to create an online training module aimed at reducing barriers to police engagement in OD response. Using a mixed-method design, organized around a pragmatic trial design, the study will achieve the following objectives:1) Adapt an occupational risk reduction (ORR) curriculum to add to a web-based OD response and naloxone training platform (GNN); 2) Describe naloxone use patterns, OD response experiences, and attitudes related to illicit opioid use among a sample (N = 300) of police officers in PA trained via the GNN platform; 3) Evaluate the relative effectiveness of ORR + GNN, compared with GNN-only, with respect to the following outcomes: a) rates of carrying naloxone while on/off-duty; b) rates of OD response in which naloxone is/isn't administered; c) numbers of referrals to treatment; d) numbers of syringes confiscated; and e) rates of information sharing with OD survivors and others. Mediators and moderators of efficacy will also be analyzed. 4) Document the range of psychosocial mechanisms underlying participant OD response engagement post-intervention. This study aims to remove barriers to life-saving police engagement with PWUO/PWID by focusing both on the safety of law enforcement and evidence-based and best-practices for working with persons at risk of an opioid OD. The study also will provide empirical evaluation of the diffusion of naloxone-based response among law enforcement.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Opioids and Police Safety Occupational Risk Reduction Training (OPS)Behavioural
Also called OPS
Potential participants are provided with a flyer with directions to enroll online. Groups are randomized by zip code (all participants with the same zip code receive the same training to avoid contamination by precinct) Both the experimental and control groups first take the online GetNaloxoneNow.org First Responder training; then the experimental group takes the online OPS training and the control group takes the online COVID training. Both groups take a pre-survey prior to both trainings and a post-survey after they complete both trainings. Both groups also receive (via email) a resource list with information that was provided in their respective trainings plus additional resources re: occupational risk reduction appropriate to each training. Every quarter for one year, participants are emailed a reminder to get back online to take the survey again.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Opioids and Police Safety Occupational Risk Reduction Training (OPS) and Opioids and Police Safety Occupational Risk Reduction Training (COVID) in people with Opioid Overdose, run by New York University at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
