Objective:
This study's goal was to explore students' perceptions of naloxone distribution for treatment of opioid overdose (OD) and whether they believe it is an acceptable intervention for college campuses.
Methods:
Mixed methods study (online survey and semi-structured qualitative interviews). Survey participants (n = 614) were randomly recruited through a university listserv. Interview participants (n = 16) were recruited through convenience sampling.
Results:
Most participants supported naloxone distribution (84.5%), 17.1% had witnessed an overdose, and 44.2% knew of someone who had died of a fatal drug overdose. Positive perceptions about naloxone, level of familiarity with people who use drugs (PWUD), and lower stigma toward PWUD were all significantly associated with support for naloxone distribution. Interview findings reveal students are familiar with OD and substance use and they desire low/no barrier access to naloxone on campus.
Conclusions:
Naloxone distribution is an accepted intervention on college campuses. Recommendations for implementation are provided.

The Doluisio method involves perfusing a prepared segment of a rat's small intestine with a solution of radiolabeled drug and a non-absorbable marker. This helps to differentiate between absorbed and non-absorbed drug concentrations. The intestinal segment is connected at both ends using tubing and syringes,...
