About the Course

While prescription opioids serve an invaluable role for the treatment of cancer pain and pain at the end of life, their overuse for acute and chronic non-cancer pain as well as the increasing availability of heroin and illicit fentanyl, have contributed to the highest rates of overdose and opioid addiction in U.S. history. Evidence-informed solutions are urgently needed to address these issues and to promote high-quality care for those with pain. This course and the report it is based on are a response to that need. They offer timely information and a path forward for all who are committed to addressing injuries and deaths associated with opioids in the United States....

This course was very helpful in understanding the extent of the problem and the kind of solutions that can be there. It will help me to look at the issue in a different light.

thank you it was very informative and gave a great scope of the magnitude of addictions- especially enjoyed the last segment of a personal testimony. As its great to hear that addictions is not limited to again a perception of the homeless. it can affect all races, social climates, rich poor and eveyone in between. we must not consider just because a person wears a suit and tie or power suit with a big income occupation that they also are immune to addictions. we must all be mindufl that at times life can be so challenging and especially with Covid so many people are struggling more than ever before and addictions has added to that. as some people have found themselves with out the job or income they once enjoyed. again many thanks

Great intro course.

I was hoping for recent data. ( Data is over ten years)

National examples focus on the Maryland area (which is understandable). However, the course is now offered nationwide. It would be helpful to learn about other regions and the challenges.
