"Majority of Americans Unlikely to Purchase Narcan, Poll Reveals"

A recent poll conducted by Yahoo News/YouGov found that 60% of Americans have no plans to purchase Narcan, an over-the-counter nasal spray that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. The survey also revealed that only 28% of respondents had heard a lot about Narcan, while 43% had some awareness, and 29% had heard nothing at all. The main reason cited for not considering purchasing Narcan was the belief that they would never need it. Experts emphasize the importance of naloxone access and education, particularly for those at risk of opioid overdose, and hope that increased awareness and availability will eventually lead to more affordable and widespread use of the medication.
