Summary
This client questionnaire is a tool to conduct a structured assessment of a client’s understanding of:
- high risk situations for opioid overdose;
- how to recognise an opioid overdose; and
- what to do in response to a suspected opioid overdose.
A key principle of brief interventions is to assess a person’s existing knowledge and attitudes, which allows more efficient tailoring of the educational information.
The client questionnaire focusses on essential knowledge and can be completed in two or three minutes.
