\nOpioid abuse and overdose is a growing problem in the United States and in Rhode Island. Pharmacists can play a role in ensuring the safe use of opioids and preventing opioid overdose. Naloxone is an antidote for opioid overdose. A collaborative practice agreement that allows pharmacists to initiate naloxone therapy could prevent opioid overdose death. Participants should watch the video and then complete the post-test and program evaluation to earn continuing education credit. A PDF of the presentation is available for reference.<\/p>\n
