Abstract
The cumberland county first responders combating the opioid epidemic project will increase the capacity of first responders and community members to use naloxone to reduce the overdose death rate in cumberland county. Public health educators and peer support specialists will train 5760 first responders and unique partners at local barbershops and libraries to prevent overdoses and expanded community distribution of naloxone. Program title: the cumberland county first responders combating the opioid epidemic project will serve residents of cumberland county, the fifth largest county in north carolina with a population of 337,890, consisting of one major city (fayetteville, population over 208,873) and eight towns. Demographics: cumberland is an underserved community with a social vulnerability index (SVI) of 0.7778. More than 50% of residents are non-white persons of color. Cumberland is a tier 1 community in terms of economic distress, designated as both urban and rural, and home to FT. Liberty, the largest army base by population. Clinical characteristics: cumberland county has been disproportionality impacted by the opioid epidemic, demonstrated by rates of overdose injuries and deaths higher than north carolina and the US overall. The overdose death rate increased a staggering 31% over 12 months (2021 to 2022), with rates increasing faster in minority populations. In 2021, most overdose deaths were due to opioids, specifically fentanyl. Strategies/interventions: a public health educator and a peer support specialist teams will train first responders and community members on overdose prevention strategies and community resources after an overdose in collaboration with unique partners (barbershops, libraries, faith leaders). Training will incorporate harm reduction principles. Funding will support the expansion of community distribution of naloxone, including the established naloxone vending machine at the local detention center. Community advisory support will be provided by the well-established cumberland fayetteville opioid response team (C-FORT). Project goals: increase the capacity of first responders and community members to use naloxone and increase the availability of naloxone to reduce the overdose death rate in cumberland county and to reduce the number of emergency department visits for overdoses. Objective: by september 30, 2028, train at least 5,760 community members (1,440 trained annually) on overdose prevention and to distribute at least 2,400 naloxone kits to first responders and community partners.
