Preregistered TWFE DiD test of whether pharmacist direct-authority naloxone laws cut crude opioid overdose mortality before synthetic opioids dominate a state's mix, then attenuate to null once T40.4 accounts for at least half of opioid overdose deaths. On the pinned panel (601 state-years, 2008–2021), ATT before dominance is -0.632217 (CI -4.144376 to 2.879942); the Law×SyntheticDominant interaction is 0.231578; ATT when dominant is -0.400639. Locked success flag false is false (decision refute). Re-run from code/analyze.py.

• Published, Reproduced, Reviewed.Published, Reproduced, Reviewed: Under the preregistered state-year TWFE DiD (n=601 state-years, 51 jurisdictions, 2008-2021), pharmacist direct-authority naloxone laws do not show a statistically significant protective association with crude opioid overdose mortality before synthetic-opioid dominance (ATT non-dominant β1=-0.632217 per 100k, 95% CI [-4.144376, 2.879942]), so the locked attenuation claim (protection before T40.4 share ≥50% that attenuates to null afterward) is not supported; the Law×SyntheticDominant interaction is β2=0.231578 (95% CI [-5.001315, 5.464471]) and ATT in dominant years is -0.400639 (95% CI [-7.530463, 6.729184]); event-study pre-trend joint p=0.318912.
