Naloxone Saturation and Public Access Locations
South Dakota Department of Social Services developed the Naloxone Saturation Model using suspected fatal overdoses, population data, and naloxone distribution data1. The Naloxone Saturation Model2 is a requirement by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) aiming to ensure naloxone is sufficiently available in all sixty-six counties of South Dakota to prevent opioid-related overdose deaths. Naloxone saturation refers to the level of naloxone kit distribution at which county-level thresholds indicate sufficient coverage to support bystander access during opioid-related overdoses.
- 1 Data Sources: Suspected fatal overdoses (HIDTA, ODMAP), population data (U.S. Census Bureau), and naloxone distribution data (SD DOH)
- 2 Naloxone Saturation Model uses a multiple linear regression and ordinary least squares (OLS) analysis to examine the relationship between monthly naloxone distribution and overdose deaths at the county level.
