Summary

This trial is testing different types of autoinjectors to see which is the most efficient at delivering medication.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who can consent and have not used medication injections in the past year. It's not for healthcare workers with recent injection experience or those with conditions affecting thinking or hand coordination, as well as anyone with recent substance use.
What is being tested?
The study compares different methods of injecting emergency medications: autoinjectors, standard injectors, and prefilled syringes. The goal is to find out which method delivers medicine most efficiently during emergencies like severe allergies or overdoses.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial focuses on delivery methods rather than medications themselves, potential side effects may include pain at the injection site, bruising, allergic reactions to components of the injector device, or complications from incorrect usage.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Injection ScenarioExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
For each scenario participants will be asked to administer/inject the "medication" (likely saline or air) using various methods: 1) standard protocol , 2) Autoinjector 3) Pre-filled syringes. For each scenario the appropriate medication administration type will have to be selected amongst groups of options: 1) autoinjectors equivalents (ie medication, needle and syringe attached) 2) prefilled syringes where a needle is attached prior to administration; and 3) standard protocol (i.e. drawing medication from the vial and injecting via syringe/22 gauge needle). Medications options will include 1) Naloxone (opioid overdose) 2) Epinephrine (anaphylaxis) 3) Tranexamic acid (bleeding).
