Remote Intervention to Prevent Overdose

This study is testing a remote program to help prevent accidental overdose from opioids, including fentanyl. It's looking at how well fentanyl test strips (small strips of paper that can detect fentanyl in drugs) and education on how to use them can reduce overdose rates. You might be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, speak and read English, have used illicit opioids or stimulants in the last three months, and live in a US state where fentanyl test strips are legal. The study will measure overdose rates at the beginning, and then at 1, 3, and 6 months to see if the interventions are successful. The current status of the study is unclear.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial with a planned enrollment of 100 participants. It uses a 2x2 design to compare fentanyl test strip distribution and education.
