Increasing the equitable distribution of take home naloxone (THN) may result in reduced deaths from opioid overdose (OD). ⋯ Demographic characteristics did not differ between those who accept versus refuse THN. Patients already receiving MOUD were more likely to refuse THN while those starting MOUD in the ED were less likely to refuse THN. Further studies are needed to determine the root causes of patients' declination of THN and develop targeted interventions to address these causes.
