Good Faith: Surveillance And Evaluation Of 911 Good Samaritan Laws In The United States, Shane W. Reader
Dissertations & Theses (Open Access)
To fight soaring overdose mortality rates in the United States, lawmakers adopted a variety of harm reduction tools.

Qualitative research in this area is important especially due to the major developmental shifts that occur as youth transition into young adulthood. The proposed study is a descriptive analysis of qualitative data …
