Overview
Brief Summary
This pilot study evaluates the needs of opioid users for a device-based intervention for opioid overdoses. The results of this one-time short questionnaire will inform development of a novel naloxone delivery device.
Detailed Description
All opioid overdose related deaths can be prevented with the timely delivery of Naloxone. This study is a one-time, preliminary survey of participants with opioid use disorder to assess the need for, and community attitudes towards, a wearable device capable of autonomously detecting and responding to an opioid overdose. The results of this survey will be used to guide ongoing development of a de novo device. This study will be conducted over a 3 month period and survey participants from the Kensington Neighborhood in North Philadelphia.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Community Need for a Device-based Opioid Overdose Intervention
Time Frame: Day 1
We aim to characterize the degree of need for a device-based opioid overdose intervention. These were extracted from the participant survey questions as well as from the words, phrases, and sentences used by participants during the interview.
Secondary Outcomes
- Functional and Aesthetic Preferences for Device-based Opioid Overdose Intervention(Day 1)
