- NORS was modelled as reducing fatal overdose risk by increasing witnessed overdoses and attended responses. — Cost-effectiveness analysis of Canada’s National Overdose Response Service
- The model assumed death probability was zero for attended overdoses. — Cost-effectiveness analysis of Canada’s National Overdose Response Service
- Fatality risk was modelled as highest for unwitnessed overdoses. — Cost-effectiveness analysis of Canada’s National Overdose Response Service
- The calibrated model estimated an 11% baseline death risk after unwitnessed overdose and a 78% baseline probability that an overdose would be witnessed without NORS. — Cost-effectiveness analysis of Canada’s National Overdose Response Service
- The zero-fatality assumption was based on NORS observations and supervised consumption site data reporting no fatalities in observed overdose events. — Cost-effectiveness analysis of Canada’s National Overdose Response Service
