This study highlights the benefits of including a harm reduction module into a social work education curriculum.  Addressing harm reduction resulted in positive shifts in MSW student’s knowledge and attitudes towards addressing opioid use disorders.  As schools of social work continue to respond to the growing needs of the behavioral health workforce, utilizing a similar harm reduction module approach could serve as a means to enhance the existing social work curriculum.
