What this research studies
Researchers will work with tenants and staff to adapt proven overdose-prevention practices so they fit the everyday realities of permanent supportive housing. They will gather input through focus groups and create a PSH Overdose Prevention Toolkit co-designed with tenants and housing partners. The toolkit will be rolled out in 20 supportive housing buildings using paired tenant-and-staff ‘‘champions,’’ short-term coaching, and joint learning sessions for sites. Study teams will track how well the practices are put into place and whether they change overdose-related events and safety routines.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Tenants of participating permanent supportive housing buildings in New York, especially people at risk for overdose, and the housing staff who work with them.
Not a fit: People who do not live in the participating supportive housing sites or who live outside the study area are unlikely to receive direct benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could lower overdose risk and make lifesaving tools and safer practices more common where people live in supportive housing.
How similar studies have performed: Components like naloxone distribution and staff training have reduced overdoses in other settings, but combining and adapting these practices specifically for permanent supportive housing is less tested.
