Summary

This trial will study the effects of an online overdose prevention and naloxone intervention for patients prescribed chronic opioid therapy. Outcomes include changes in opioid risk behaviors, naloxone uptake, and knowledge about overdose and naloxone.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who are on long-term opioid medication and have a health plan covering naloxone, which can reverse overdoses. They must be able to access the internet and speak English. It's not for those in hospice care or with do-not-resuscitate orders.

What is being tested?

The study tests a web-based program called Naloxone Navigator (NN) designed to prevent drug overdose among patients taking opioids regularly. It measures if NN changes their risk behaviors, increases naloxone use, and improves knowledge about overdoses.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial focuses on an educational web intervention rather than a drug, there are no direct side effects from medications being tested. However, participants may experience distress or anxiety when learning about overdose risks.
