CONCLUSIONS: Findings underscore that realistic and feasible policy objectives of decriminalization are relatively narrow in scope and do not include measurable reductions in overdose fatalities. Policy objectives identified offer a practical and mechanistically grounded foundation for policymakers to refine decriminalization approaches and ensure evaluations focus on outcomes that accurately reflect the intended scope and function of the policy.
