This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $431,750 to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey to conduct research on informing national overdose prevention and treatment strategies for high-risk adolescents.

The key objectives of this 2-year project are to: 1) estimate the prevalence of adolescent nonfatal drug overdose and identify high-risk demographic and clinical subgroups, stratifying by drug involvement (e.g., fentanyl) and overdose intent; 2) examine receipt of behavioral health treatment (type, timing) after nonfatal drug overdose and variation in treatment receipt by demographic and clinical characteristics; and 3) estimate incidence, critical high-risk periods, and risk factors for repeat overdoses, including the relationship with behavioral health care received after the initial event. The project will leverage national longitudinal Medicaid claims data comprising over 400,000 overdose events in adolescents aged 12-18 years to generate actionable evidence to inform targeted prevention and treatment strategies.
