  • Community-Based Cluster-Randomized Trial to Reduce Opioid Overdose Deaths

    The New England Journal of Medicine

    HEALing (Helping to End Addiction Long-term Initiative) Communities Study (HCS) investigators examined the potential of the community-engaged, data-driven Communities That HEAL (CTH) intervention to reduce the rate of opioid-related overdose deaths in highly affected communities. Intervention communities implemented hundreds of strategies to expand opioid overdose education and naloxone distribution, the use of medications for opioid use disorder, and safety measures for prescription opioid use, as well as communication campaigns to support these efforts. Although there were no significant between-group differences in the rate of opioid-related overdose deaths, the trial showed that the CTH community-engaged intervention, with its leveraging of community coalitions and a data-driven approach, can bring about meaningful progress in implementing evidence-based practices.
