Interview Guide PDO/naloxone partners and stakeholders
Hello, this is _______________ with Battelle. Thank you for agreeing to participate in today’s interview. Battelle is a research organization and we are working with CDC and SAMHSA to conduct an evaluation of the SAMHSA-funded grants to Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths, or the PDO/Naloxone grant. The evaluation is intended to help understand the scope and impact of the program on overdose fatalities, increase our understanding of program effectiveness, and increase understanding of barriers and facilitators to program implementation. You have been asked to participate in an interview because you are involved in this work and we are interested in learning about your perspective and experiences with the PDO/naloxone grant.
If you agree to participate in the interview, we will ask you a series of questions related to the PDO/naloxone activities that are occurring in your jurisdiction. This interview will take about 60 minutes or less of your time. Your participation is completely voluntary. You can decide whether or not to participate. If you do agree to participate, you may stop at any time. You may also choose to not answer any questions. Should you choose to participate, your answers will be maintained in a secure manner and you will not be identified by name or description in any reports.
Do you have any questions for me?
Are you willing to participate in the interview?
We would also like to audio tape the interview for transcribing purposes only. You will not be identified by name or description in any of the audio recordings. Once the interviews have been transcribed, the tapes will be erased.
