Ready, willing, and able: understanding opioid overdose preparedness among college students in the southwestern United States.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The Ready, Willing, Able framework aids in examining emergency response preparedness among college campuses and student communities. There remains a gap in understanding levels of readiness, willingness, and ability in opioid overdose response among college students in the southwestern United States. Methods: We conducted a multiple methods protocol using a concurrent triangulation design. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Results: Survey findings characterized low levels of readiness, moderate levels of willingness, and low levels of ability for opioid overdose response preparedness. Emergent themes from applied thematic analysis revealed facilitating factors (e.g., accessing campus-based naloxone/training from various sources, targeting coursework into health-related tracks, granular details on overdose response protocol) and barriers (e.g., lack of advertisement of university resources, apathy/stigma toward overdose response preparedness, ineffective training) to overdose response preparedness. Students offered a multitude of solutions to improve readiness (e.g., expanding access to and awareness for university-based resources), willingness (e.g., empathy-based messaging to promote awareness), and ability (e.g., hands-on and step-by-step trainings) in overdose response preparedness. Conclusion: Findings highlighted areas of need among college students in improving opioid overdose response readiness, willingness, and ability in emergency preparedness. Student perspectives and expertise, as well as institutional resources (i.e., overdose education and naloxone distribution services, media-based awareness initiatives), should guide efforts to improve opioid overdose response preparedness on college campuses.
