Trial population

Aims 1 and 2 of this study will use secondary analysis of an existing de-identified, linked data set curated as part of an ongoing evaluation of the NYC overdose prevention centers. This dataset will include a total of 500 participants linked to NYC administrative health records. This de-identified data source will be accessed through the NYULH Center for Opioid Epidemiology and Policy (COEP). Should it be deemed necessary, a data use agreement will be established between the PI and NYULH/COEP to facilitate access to these de-identified data. Aim 3 of this study will recruit 30 individuals over age 18 who are currently employed by harm reduction programs for a one-time, qualitative interview.
