Prescription Drug Abuse: Understanding the National & Local Picture, a CADCA Webinar

To help communities tackle problems they’re facing with prescription drug misuse and abuse, CADCA launched a four-part webinar series. The free webinar, entitled “Prescription Drug Abuse: Understanding the National and Local Picture”, was held on Nov. 18 at 3 pm EST. This is a recording of that webinar. The webinar explored national prescription drug abuse trends, the types of prescription drugs adults and youth use non-medically, and how to gather local data on this issue to inform strategies and interventions. The webinar also provided a case study from a coalition in Kentucky that reduced prescription drug abuse by 80 percent.
