PENINGTON Institute has produced downloadable resources focused on preventing overdose ahead of International Overdose Awareness Day on 31 Aug.

The drug policy research non-profit organisation believes that lasting change happens when communities are empowered to find their own solutions, and is encouraging people to have a conversation about overdose prevention.

Among the resources pharmacists may find useful is an education kit, which includes printable information about risk factors for opioid overdose; pain patients and opioid dependence; naloxone; and medication-assisted treatment for overcoming opioid dependence.
