OHA and ODE to Release Fentanyl and Opioid Overdose Response Toolkits for Schools
The Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Department of Education are releasing a Fentanyl & Opioid Response Toolkit for Schools to support administrators, school nurses, educators, students and families.
The toolkit is in response to a public health crisis related to rising youth and adult opioid overdoses and deaths in Oregon.
This toolkit provides information about how schools can create an emergency protocol to administer naloxone, also known as Narcan.
The toolkit includes information on how to access, administer and store this life-saving opioid overdose prevention medication. In addition, the toolkit has resources to support staff training, prevention education and other resources essential to developing and implementing school emergency response procedures.
Colt Gill, Director of the Oregon Department of Education, said they strongly encourage schools to adopt policies and practices for safe and effective management and prevention of opioid-related overdoses in schools. When drug-related emergencies occur in or around schools, proper response is critical to save lives.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), deaths due to accidental overdose from May 2020 to April 2021 surpassed 100,000 for the first time on record. CDC officials said 64% of those deaths were attributed to illicitly manufactured Fentanyl, which often comes in the form of pills that closely resemble prescription oxycodone or Xanax.
In Oregon, Fentanyl-related overdose deaths increased by 74% from 2019 to 2020, for a total of 298 Fentanyl-related deaths in 2020.
