The question is not whether these interventions work. The evidence is clear. The question is whether we will invest in them.

Black, brown, and low-income communities continue to experience disproportionate harm. Harm reduction strategies — including naloxone distribution, syringe services, drug checking, and low-barrier treatment entry — save lives and connect people to care.

Evidence-based investment means funding strategies proven to: • Reduce fatal overdose • Lower infectious disease transmission • Improve engagement in treatment • Strengthen long-term recovery Disbursement of Opioid Settlement Funds should reflect this evidence.

When we say “evidence-based,” we mean interventions backed by clinical research and real-world outcomes. Harm reduction services and medications for opioid use disorder are not experimental; they are established standards of care. #evidenceMatters #NYPublicHealth #overdoseprevention #healthequity
