    Abstract
    Objectives: Evaluate prescriber knowledge on naloxone use for opioid overdose reversals in intravenous drug users. Interview prescribers on their perceptions about intravenous drug users, syringe access programs, and other related topics. Subjects: Prescribers and medical professionals in the State of Arizona. Methods: Medical facilities were contacted by email, fax, or telephone requesting for prescribers to complete the survey and return by email or fax, or call to schedule a face-to-face appointment. The respondents of the survey were kept anonymous and were permitted to answer the survey in free text. Surveys were sent to the 68 selected medical facilities at least twice during the study period. Results: All of the six respondents were male, of the respondents had at least 11 years experience, with two having >30 years. A majority practiced in rehab centers or worked with drug abuse patients, however the number of patients treated per week by respondent varies from 10-320. Also of note five of the six respondents had a family member or relative with an addiction to opioids. The respondents seem to be in support of a naloxone distribution program however it is difficult to draw any conclusions since the number of responses was low. Conclusions: It appears that prescribers have a favorable perception of naloxone use and support harm reduction strategies, however response rate was too low to make any definitive conclusions.
