This study is testing a social intervention called "Network overdose prevention" to see if it can help prevent drug overdoses. It aims to teach people who use opioids, and their non-using friends or family, how to respond to an overdose. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, live in the Baltimore area, have used illicit opioids at least twice in the last two weeks, and are willing to teach others and recruit a non-using friend or family member to participate. The researchers will measure the number of drug overdoses and your drug use after three months to see if the intervention is successful. The current status of this study is unclear.
