Promise of Prevention: Moving Upstream in the Community to Impact the Overdose Crisis

Treatment and recovery support services are critical services for those individuals living with an opioid use disorder. However, it is also imperative that we implement a public health approach that focuses upstream on how to prevent opioid misuse and opioid use disorder. This session will provide a framework to help inform this approach and showcase RTI projects designed to assess the impact of upstream strategies implemented at the individual, family, and community level to address opioid misuse. The session will also emphasize the need for upstream strategies as a required component of a comprehensive public health strategy.
