Motivation to Carry Naloxone: A Qualitative Analysis of Emergency Department Patients.
Article in American journal of health promotion : AJHP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeOur aim was to explore perspectives of patients who received naloxone in the emergency department (ED) about (1) naloxone carrying and use following an ED visit and (2) motivation for performing these behaviors.
designSemi-structured interviews of patients prescribed naloxone at ED discharge. SETTINGS: Three urban academic EDs in Philadelphia, PA.
participants25 participants completed the in-depth, semi-structured interviews and demographic surveys. Participants were majority male, African American, and had previously witnessed or experienced an overdose.
methodsInterviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed using content analysis. We used a hybrid inductive-deductive approach that included prespecified and emergent themes.
resultsWe found that naloxone carrying behavior was variable and influenced by four main motivators: (1) naloxone access; (2) personal experience and salience of naloxone, (3) comfort with naloxone administration, and (4) societal influences on naloxone carrying. In particular, those with personal history of overdose or close friends or family at risk were motivated to carry naloxone.
conclusionsParticipants in this study reported several important motivators for naloxone carrying after an ED visit, including ease of naloxone access and comfort, perceived risk of experiencing or encountering an overdose, and social influences on naloxone carrying behaviors. EDs, health systems, and public health officials should consider these factors influencing motivation when designing future interventions to increase access, carrying, and use of naloxone.
