Greetings, from the Office of School Health at CDPH! Whether you’re gearing up for a new school year to come, or you’re already in the thick of back to school, we hope you’ll take a few minutes to tell us about stock medications in schools.
 
In this brief survey, which should take about five minutes or less, we’d like to hear about stock naloxone use in the schools to which you were assigned last school year, as well as the availability of stock epinephrine and albuterol. This valuable information will help us understand and convey the importance of stock medications in California schools.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected].
 
If you’d like to learn more about statewide standing orders for stock naloxone and epinephrine for your schools, please visit www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/sapb/Pages/Naloxone-Standing-Order.aspx for naloxone and www.standingorders.cdph.ca.gov for epinephrine.
