Abstract

This research aims to get an insight into and an understanding of perceptions and experiences of healthcare professionals regarding take home naloxone dispensing. Search results will be exported to the reference manager Mendeley, and duplicates removed. By giving equal consideration to quantitative and qualitative methods, the Research Critique Framework (Caldwell, 2005) was found to most accurately fit the requirements of this review. The authors used this tool in conjunction with a simple, self-developed scoring system out of eighteen in order to categorise quality and appropriateness of each study. The initial questions are rather general and should be considered for all studies, with focus on design and methodology. The framework then splits into two pathways for either qualitative or quantitative routes. The authors devised a simple grading method whereby each question was assigned a 'yes', 'no' or 'not applicable'. These were then scored numerically with percentages calculated and finally further categorised as poor (<75%), moderate (75-90%) or high quality (>90%).
