Interventions
Fentanyl Test Strips
A brief fentanyl test strip (FTS) education intervention will be given to participants at Project DAWN sites in the intervention arm after enrollment and collecting baseline data. It will be offered one-on-one with participants and will include the purpose, benefits, and limitations of FTS testing, and information on how to use FTS, interpret the results, what to do if the FTS is positive, and how to use FTS for different drug delivery methods. Participants will practice and demonstrate use of the FTS, and the short video on how to interpret the FTS will include an on-camera statement on the importance of testing for fentanyl. The video will be accessible to participants after study enrollment. Participants will be advised of the possibility of both false positive/negative results, and that the drugs may be mixed with other substances not detectable with FTS. Participants will be encouraged to practice other harm reduction strategies.
