KCL are looking to appoint an enthusiastic post-doctoral Research Associate to work on an exciting, international, research study of take home naloxone. This is a mixed-methods study of the effectiveness of take home naloxone administration by lay people in reversing opioid overdose. The study aims to determine a) the rate of naloxone administration with the intention of reversing an opioid overdose by lay persons provided with THN who witness an opioid overdose and b) the frequency of deaths in the 24 hours subsequent to administration of naloxone. The post is fixed term for two years. 

Even though the study is funded by MundiPharma Research Ltd (the pharmaceutical company responsible for manufacturing the nasal naloxone, Nyxoid), the study examines any/all forms of naloxone which participating clinical services provide. The study is being undertaken in England, Wales, Scotland, Denmark and Sweden (and other countries, to be confirmed). The post holder will be located in the Addictions Department at the IoPPN, King’s College London.

A cohort of 6000 individuals having been pre-supplied with naloxone will be followed up over six months to determine whether they have witnessed (or experienced) an overdose. Those that have will be asked to take part in an interview with a researcher to ask them to provide more details about the overdose event. 

The position will involve assisting with every aspect of this study including:

liaising with countries to ensure recruitment of country sites and participants and adherence to protocol, ensuring countries have the training and resources they need; management and reporting of serious adverse events and assisting with data analysis and report writing, maintaining up to date study files and databases, and undertaking research interviews over the telephone and data entry for participants recruited in London.

The Overdose Response Strategy (ORS) is an initiative designed to enhance public health-public safety collaboration and strengthen efforts to reduce drug overdose deaths. The ORS is funded by CDC and the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to help communities reduce fatal and non-fatal drug overdose rates by improved information sharing across public health and public safety agencies, and by supporting evidence-based intervention. 

As of July 2021, there are ORS Public Health Analyst (PHA) and Drug Intelligence Officer (DIO) positions in 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. PHA positions are funded by CDC through the CDC Foundation and DIO positions are funded by ONDCP through the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) program. These state teams form the foundation of the ORS and work to promote overdose prevention and response efforts, and increase communication, data flow, and intelligence sharing between public safety and public health within and across ORS states.  

The CDC Foundation seeks candidates for a full-time PHA to support the ORS. This position will support efforts of the U.S. Virgin Island Department of Health, Puerto Rico/Virgin Islands HIDTA, and other key partners in the development and implementation of drug overdose information sharing systems and evidence-based prevention programs.

The PHA will ideally sit at the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Health located in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

Responsibilities 

• Facilitate data sharing and joint initiatives between public health and public safety agencies and organizations that are designed to address illicit drug use and overdose
• Collaborate with assigned state DIO to build partnerships between local HIDTA program(s) and public health entities

• Present to diverse audiences on overdose trends and local response efforts

• Responsibilities may also include: 
  • Conduct overdose, drug use, and drug availability related data analyses on behalf of partner agencies, as needed
