Barriers to and recommended strategies for facilitating the implementation of naloxone/opioid training for priority student groups

Group affiliation	Barriers	Recommendations
Fraternity and Sorority members	Required to attend additional trainings for Greek life requirements causing increased training fatigue among members	Incentivize by integrating into and aligning with Greek life requirement
Student Athletes	Risk of opioid prescription after surgery and stigma around use	Have athletic trainers/ coaches (existing internal “program champions”) communicate about trainings
Student Recovery Coalition members	Messaging about naloxone may conflict with 12-step community programs	Have professors highlight opportunities for trainings and offer extra credit for participation
Student Military Veterans	Disconnected from campus communications due to being non-traditional students	Use social media to disseminate information about substance use resources
Columbia Health Staff members		Appoint or invite “health ambassadors” (students interested in health professions) to participate in trainings
Resident Assistants	Perceived as mandatory reporters, which may result in students avoiding disclosing opioid use to them
