摘要

介绍。由于担心警察介入，过量服药事件的旁观者往往不愿拨打911。为了解决这个问题，2016年，不列颠哥伦比亚省紧急卫生服务(BCEHS)出台了一项政策，不定期向警方通报过量服药事件。本研究探讨了政策实施后警察参加过量事件的变化。方法。警察参加过量事件的数据来自BC省在政策改变前后返回的带回家纳洛酮(THN)工具包中的纳洛酮给药表。进行分段回归以量化警察参加过量事件的变化。结果。政策前警察参加过量事件的平均比例为55.6%，而政策后为37.9%。分段回归模型显示，在该政策实施后，每月参加过量用药事件的警察人数下降了0.98% (95% CI:(- 1.70至- 0.26))(p = 0.01)。结论。我们的研究结果表明，BCEHS政策有助于减少警察参加的过量事件。

Change in Police Attendance at Overdose Events following Implementation of a Police Non-Notification Policy in British Columbia

Introduction. Bystanders at overdose events often hesitate to call 911 due to fear of police involvement. To address this, in 2016, British Columbia Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) introduced a policy to not routinely inform police of overdose events. This study explores change in police attended overdose events after the policy was implemented. Methods. Data on police attended overdose events were derived from naloxone administration forms in BC’s Take-Home Naloxone (THN) kits returned before and after the policy change. Segmented regression was conducted to quantify change in police attended overdose events. Results. The average proportion of police attended overdose events pre-policy was 55.6% compared to 37.9% post-policy. The segmented regression model demonstrated a 0.98% (95% CI: (−1.70 to −0.26)) decline ( p = 0.01 ) in police attended overdose events each month following the policy. Conclusion. Our findings suggest that the BCEHS policy contributed to a decrease in police attended overdose events.
