Trends: EMS Narcan administration incidents decreased by 4%
from 2016 to 2017. In 2017 Belknap County had the most EMS Narcan
administration incidents per capita with 35.38 incidents per 10,000 population.
The age group with the largest number of EMS Narcan administration incidents is 20-29 which represents 31% of all EMS Narcan administration incidents for 2017.
*** IMPORTANT DATA NOTES***
Narcan data in this report involves the number of incidents where Narcan was administered, NOT the number of doses of Narcan during a certain time period. Multiple doses may be administered during an incident.
Narcan is administered in cases of cardiac arrest when the cause of the arrest cannot be determined. It therefore cannot be concluded that all of the reported Narcan cases involved drugs.
