View Award Abstract

Project Arkansas First Responders Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (Arkansas FR-CARA) will provide immediate intervention to rapidly increasing preventable deaths in Arkansas as a direct result of misuse and abuse of prescription opioid medications. Immediate intervention methods will entail providing Naloxone and training to active volunteer firefighters and all first responders in the highest risk regions of Arkansas. Statewide delivery of resources and training will be performed by moving throughout the state counter clockwise with the implementation beginning primarily in rural regions identified as most at risk. Populations served will be all populations residing in areas identified as rural regions throughout the state of Arkansas. A regionally focused approached will specifically target the highest risk areas first and continue to work throughout the state. This will ensure optimal intervention methods, alleviation of health inequalities as well as overall reduction of overdose mortality rates in these high-risk regions. These rural region improvements will be a direct result of education and increased awareness to this growing drug overdose epidemic. By the end of grant year 1, 80% of all active volunteer firefighters in North Central Arkansas will be provided with Naloxone(NARCAN) for opioid overdose reversal. By the end of grant year 1, 90% of all homeless shelters in North Central Arkansas will be equipped with Naloxone (NARCAN) for opioid overdose reversal. By the 4th year of the grant, 75% of all homeless shelters throughout the state will be equipped with Naloxone (NARCAN) for opioid overdose reversal. By the fourth year of the grant, 50% of opioid overdose victims seen by law enforcement and active volunteer firefighters will be referred to opt into a treatment and recovery centers as an alternative to incarceration. By the fourth year of the grant, 50% of all opioid overdose victims will have conducted a follow-up consultation with the Program Director.
