Opioid Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution in Rural Areas

Quick fact

Rural communities have a 40-70% higher rate of opioid overdose deaths than urban areas, partly because emergency medical services can take over twice as long to arrive, making bystander-administered naloxone critical.

Why this is interesting

It's a Friday night in a small town; someone overdoses on opioids, but the nearest ambulance is 30 minutes away. How can a bystander with no medical training save a life?
