Pilot Program Evaluation Results
Pre-Test and Post-Test http://www.givenaloxone.com/post-test.html Statistical Analysis: Outpatient Pilot The majority of participants were social workers with some nurses and CASAC counselors. 100% of people gained competency after the pilot program, defined as an increase in test scores above the 80% threshold. The mean score before was 55% and the mean score after the training was 97%.
Statistical Analysis: Inpatient Pilot Demographics: 52% were nurses, the rest were social workers and counselors 82% had no prior overdose training despite working in an inpatient drug rehabilition center Only 57% of those who had witnessed an overdose before had then intervened For the 43% who had previously witnessed overdoses but not intervened, 100% rated on a Likert scale either 4 or 5 /5 that they felt after the training they were confident to administer naloxone if they were to witness an overdose emergency again. Statistical Analysis: Inpatient Pilot 90% of attendees were competent by completion of the module. The mean gain in scores was 33.5% with pretest mean of 58% and posttest mean of 91.5%. Most common errors included believing the most common overdoses are caused by heroin, naloxone treats benzodiazepine overdose, narcan will make the OD victim feel better, naloxone works because it is long-acting, and that naloxone is not given by trained bystanders (all the other answers were repesented).
