The hypothesis of the main trial is that giving naloxone on release to prisoners with a history of heroin use by injection will reduce heroin overdose deaths in this population by 28% in the first 12 weeks after release. The research questions addressed in this pilot study concern establishing whether prisons and eligible prisoners participate in the numbers expected and required in the main trial, field-testing the logistics of the main trial procedures, and obtaining qualitative data around post-release heroin use, overdoses witnessed or experienced, use of naloxone, and carriage of naloxone.
