Anti-overdose naloxone kits at transit stops could help save lives, study suggests

Researcher Benjamin Leung carries a naloxone kit in his backpack in case of encountering an opioid overdose – but he admits that’s about as practical as carrying a fire extinguisher in case of fire.Instead Leung is now advocating a new tactic of placing the overdose-reversing kits at transit locations near where drug poisonings are known to occur, after co-authoring a study suggesting the benefits of the strategy.
