BALTIMORE CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT: Most Americans Know About Opioid Antidote And Are Willing To Use It

Med

Baltimore City Health Department issued the following announcement on Aug. 22.

Baltimore Health Commissioner Dr. Leana Wen says the lack of knowledge among Americans at large isn't all that surprising. "Policy alone is necessary but not sufficient," she says. "People still don't know to go to the pharmacy to get access to naloxone, especially individuals at the highest risk."

To change that, she says, "you have to have continued education and the delivery of services" where people need them.
