| In favour of a lay naloxone project | 84/132 (63.6) | 292/442 (66.1) | 0.741 |
| Would take part in project | 71/123 (57.7) | 140/443 (31.6) | <0.001b |
| First preference single-use injectable naloxone | 26/123 (21.1) | 47/367 (12.8) | 0.035 |

| First preference intranasal naloxone | 73/124 (58.9) | 331/405 (81.7) | <0.001b |
All tests are 2 x 2 χ2 tests for association, as the variables are categorical and independent. Missing values were excluded.
↵a As multiple testing (15 comparisons) was performed, a Bonferroni adjustment to the 0.05 α level was applied to limit the potential of a type 1 error.
↵b A P-value ≤0.003 is considered significant in this context.
