  • Demonstrate how to administer the opioid overdose reversal drug naloxone.

Youth / Young Adults Aged 15-24

Rising Rates of Overdose

In 2021, nearly 7,500 adolescents and young adults aged 15-24 died as a result of drug overdose, a 55% increase since 2019. The majority (84%) of these deaths were caused by opioids, which include prescription pain medication and illicit opioids such as heroin and fentanyl.

Fentanyl, is the primary driver of the overdose health crisis and has been found in other drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit pills.

6 out of 10 of the 59 million counterfeit pills seized in 2022 contain a lethal dose of Fentanyl.

It is imperative for schools to prepare for a potential overdose emergency

It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that the safe and effective management of opioid-related overdoses in schools must be incorporated into the school emergency preparedness and response plans.
