Type: article
Abstract: EN | Abstract: Quick Response Teams (QRTs) have proliferated across the United States in response to the opioid overdose crisis. One of the first county-wide QRTs in the nation, the Hamilton County, Ohio QRT (HC-QRT), has been heralded as a model QRT, and its members have helped to train and teach other jurisdictions wishing to implement similar programs. This is the first of several studies of this QRT’s operations. The present study describes and quantifies the HC-QRTs activities and outputs as it has expanded over a seven-year period. Key Words: Deflection, Quick Response Teams, Opioid, Outreach, Substance Use, Addiction, Overdose Response, Community Safety, Criminal Justice, SDG 1, SDG 3, SDG 5, SDG 10, SDG 16, SDG.
