Tailoring Overdose Education for Black Churches
August 8, 2023 updated by: Jermaine D. Jones, New York State Psychiatric Institute
Church-Tailored Opioid Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution to Target Overdose and Stigma Among African-American Communities
Church-based interventions are culturally acceptable, reduce access barriers, and can be brought to scale in under-resourced communities.
For Overdose Education and Naloxone Distribution (OEND) to be efficacious in Black churches, tailoring may be needed.
For this audience, standard OEND curricula may need to be adapted to their level of knowledge of substance use disorders (SUDs), and limited general mental health literacy, and specifically address stigma related to SUDs and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).
Finally, a tailored implementation strategy may need to address contextual variations (e.g., denomination and membership size) across churches.
The proposed pilot study aims to identify the socio-cultural modifications that will be needed to adapt our previously developed training (i.e., COEST) to target Black communities of faith.
In a pilot randomized controlled trial (RTC) of adapted COEST in a stepped-wedge design.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Frequency of Naloxone Utilization/Overdose Intervention
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 Months after COEST training
|
All study participants will receive an overdose response kit containing two doses of intranasal naloxone.
Participants are asked to notify study staff immediately if they utilize naloxone in an attempt to reverse an opioid overdose.
|
Baseline and 6 Months after COEST training

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Opioid Overdose Knowledge Scale (OOKS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 Months after COEST training
|
The OOKS measures knowledge about risk factors for having an opioid overdose, signs of an opioid overdose, actions to be taken in an overdose situation, naloxone effects and administration, adverse effects and aftercare procedures.
The scale also identifies misinformation.
The OOKS is a 14-item scale (Score Range: 0-45).
|
Baseline and 6 Months after COEST training
|
Brief Opioid Stigma Scale (BOOS)
Time Frame: Baseline and 6 Months after COEST training
|
The BOSS was developed to assess stereotype awareness ("aware"), stereotype agreement ("agree"), and self-esteem decrement ("harm") surrounding opioid dependence.
The BOSS is a 12-item scale (Score Range: 12-60)
|
Baseline and 6 Months after COEST training
