The Impact of Naloxone Coprescribing Mandates on Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths, in American Journal of Preventive Medicine
key takeaway: "Coprescribing/offering mandates significantly reduced the number of prescription/treatment overdose deaths by 8.61 per state per quarter (95% CI= –15.13, –2.09), a 16% reduction from the counterfactual estimates. Coprescribing/offering mandates did not significantly impact illicit/synthetic overdose deaths (average marginal effect=0.32; 95% CI= –18.27, 18.91)."
