Remote Fentanyl Test Strip Distribution and Education to Prevent Drug Overdose
Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham
Summary
This Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized controlled trial, Remote Fentanyl Test Strip Distribution and Education to Prevent Drug Overdose, aims to address the United States opioid crisis driven by fentanyl and other synthetic opioids by reducing overdose rates. This study would be the first national, fully remote trial to assess the impact of fentanyl test strips on overdose outcomes, using a novel 2x2 design crossing fentanyl test strip distribution and education to determine which approach most significantly reduces overdose rates while minimizing costs. This research will inform scalability around mail-based fentanyl test strip distribution and education programs to address the nation's opioid overdose crisis.
