NYSDOH Naloxone Study Finds Lower Dose Just As Effective

New York Public Health Now

Dr. Sharon Stancliffe and Emily Payne join Commissioner McDonald and Executive Deputy Commissioner Morne to discuss their groundbreaking study published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report comparing the effectiveness of 4mg and 8mg doses of naloxone.
The study, conducted with assistance by the New York State Police, found the higher 8mg dose resulted in more withdrawal symptoms but did not improve survival rates, suggesting the lower 4mg dose may be preferable.
Dr. Stancliff and Emily also discuss their careers in public health and harm reduction strategies.
