We are excited to announce that the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) Center for the Clinical Trials Network (CCTN) is hosting a virtual workshop titled “Prehospital Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder.” This workshop is scheduled for Tuesday, September 6, 2022 from 11:00 a.m.– 5:00 p.m. ET. An email will be sent to all registered attendees a few days before the meeting with the final agenda and list of speakers and panel participants.

The NIDA CCTN is convening stakeholders, experts, and federal staff to present recent research and innovative EMS or paramedic administered approaches for opioid use disorder and overdose and to identify research needed to evaluate prehospital approaches for opioid use disorder. The meeting will highlight promising research, describe innovative programs in the United States, and identify research priorities to inform research planning.
