Feasibility of Emergency Department-based Fentanyl Test Strip Distribution.

Objectives: United States drug overdose deaths now overwhelmingly involve fentanyl and fentanyl analogs. The emergency department (ED) is an important setting to provide harm reduction for persons who use drugs, but ED-based fentanyl test strip distribution has not yet been described.

Methods: This is an observational study of patients with an opioid-related visit to an ED in downtown Chicago, Illinois.
