[MUSIC] We're going to be talking about naloxone now and how to improve its access and use. So naloxone is an overdose reversal medication. It literally reverses the effects of an overdose upon administration. Unfortunately, if it's given to someone who isn't experiencing an overdose, there's no adverse effects. So it's really a good tool to have when thinking about how we can effectively address the overdose problem. Naloxone comes in three forms, it can be injected. And this is really a form that's limited to use by medical professionals. There's also an auto injector device that can be used easily by people without medical training. The auto injector device includes a voice command that instructs the person who's delivering the medication how to use the device and how to assure that it is delivered safely to the person who's in need. And the latest technology that we have in terms of administering naloxone is the nasal spray. And again, this is something that can easily be used by people with very little medical training. Really all that's needed is instruction on how to use the nasal spray. Overdose education and naloxone education programs have been shown to be effective at distributing naloxone at training people to administer it, and there have been many reports of lives saved by these medications. So we're really optimistic that by distributing naloxone and providing really minimal education to people who can potentially use it to reverse the effects of an overdose will see uptake of this drug, use of this drug, and lives saved as a result of this drug. We're also seeing in response to these distribution programs, the introduction in states of what are known as Good Samaritan laws. And these laws protect people who are calling in when an overdose that happens, who are calling for help for people who are in need of medical attention, it protects them from legal prosecution. So it may be that some people are concerned about reporting that an overdose occurred because there's illegal activity that's happening. There might be drug paraphernalia in the space where the overdose is occurring. It's likely that there is. And with Good Samaritan laws in place, people can be confident that their good work of reporting an overdose happening of administering naloxone and reporting that so that medical professionals can follow up, will not be punished as a result of some illegal activity that may be going on at the scene, as well. I'd like to now introduce you to two people who can talk about their experience with naloxone, and how naloxone has evolved over the past few years. Let's first watch a video from Dr. Skolnick of the National Institute on Drug Abuse where he is going to talk about the nasal spray version of naloxone. Dr. Skolnik is going to provide a 30,000 foot view on the importance of this type of application of naloxone, and how it can really make a difference in terms of getting this life saving drug out to people who can use it to save lives with people in their communities with members of their family. And then the next video clipwe'll watch is from chief Tom Sinan, who's been on the front lines of the opioid epidemic. And he'll give us some insight as to how naloxone works in his communities and the benefits he sees from this life saving medication.
