University students' knowledge suggests that previous exposure to opioid prescriptions and naloxone training increase a student's knowledge about opioid overdose. This information is not surprising; however, this does make the case that students may benefit from brief overdose education programs that could be implemented across university health education curricula. However, a larger effort may need to be implemented to encourage students to participate in such programs.
