The Effects of Stigma on Naloxone Attitudes and Policy Endorsement
Naloxone is a life-saving medication that reverses opioid overdoses by blocking the effects of opioids and reversing overdose symptoms such as respiratory depression. Studies show that access to naloxone and overdose education in communities can significantly lower overdose deaths. Despite its effectiveness, barriers to access still persist, which are largely driven by stigma.
