We conducted a retrospective, quasi‐experimental study of a police naloxone program to examine individual outcomes following nonfatal overdose where either police (n = 111) or emergency medical services (n = 1,229) provided a first response and administered naloxone. Individuals who received a police response were more likely to be arrested immediately following initial dispatch and had more instances of repeat nonfatal overdose two years following dispatch; there were no differences in rearrest or death rates. Findings suggest police naloxone programs may increase short‐term incarceration risk, but we found little evidence overall of long‐term adverse effects.

警务人员或紧急医疗服务人员服用纳洛酮后的两年结果

我们对警察纳洛酮计划进行了一项回顾性，半实验性研究，以检查非致命过量后警察（n  = 111）或紧急医疗服务（n  = 1,229）提供了第一反应并使用纳洛酮的个体结局。初次派遣后，收到警方回应的人更有可能立即被捕，并且派遣后两年有多次非致命性过量服药的案例；在后座率或死亡率上没有差异。研究结果表明，警察纳洛酮方案可能会增加短期监禁风险，但我们发现总体上没有长期副作用的证据。
