Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Naloxone
Opioid deaths are on rise in the region and across the country, but different reporting standards from one jurisdiction to another make it difficult to get an accurate number of both fatal and nonfatal overdoses. New digital tools –including a locally-created mobile app that tracks overdoses in real time– are trying to change that.
Plus, we learn about how fentanyl testing strips and naloxone are being used to respectively prevent and reverse overdoses in the Washington region.
