Another set of awful drug-death stats for Scotland from @NatRecordsScot - as some of us suggested last year, a one-year drop was nothing to celebrate and certainly no evidence we had turned a corner. A short THREAD on some key findings from the data...

We have published the final study in our independent evaluation of the How to Save a Life (HTSAL) drug related deaths/naloxone mass media campaign in Scotland. https://t.co/SzhTGqsjYF

... and that exposure to campaign materials was associated with higher levels of overdose knowledge. https://t.co/VZ9aBjcBne.

[Martin Anderson @Martin_A_SPHSU]

Other studies from this evaluation found that the campaign was associated with a large temporary increase in the community of supply of take-home naloxone for the duration of the main campaign. https://t.co/DN0TBviICK.
