With a little help from my friends: the effects of good samaritan and naloxone access laws on opioid-related deaths.
This study examined the effect of good Samaritan and naxolone access laws (NALs) on opioid-related mortality. Most states have adopted these laws, and the early adopters had the most negative association between NALs and overdose deaths. There was a negative but not statistically significant effect on opioid-related deaths for states with Good Samaritan laws.
