The current opioid epidemic is the deadliest drug crisis in American history. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), on average 115 Americans die of an opioid overdose every day. It’s an issue that transcends all geographic and socioeconomic boundaries — affecting people of every ethnicity and age.
Join the NYU College of Global Public Health and John Brademas Center of New York University for America Addicted: Understanding the Opioid Epidemic, an event that aims to better understand the issues surrounding the use and abuse of prescription opioid medications. Through a short film, this event will tell a personal story of a mother who lost her son to a Fentanyl overdose. Immediately following the film, a panel of policy and research experts whose work focuses on combating the epidemic will join in a discussion with the film’s director.
