The book begins with a public health/epidemiologic examination of
the situation, with a systematic view of the problem based on
classic (infectious disease) epidemiologic principles applied to
this behavioral health issue. This application is expanded to take
into account the fact that unlike most epidemics in our species'
history, a unique factor that must be accounted for in any public
health analysis is that the host (opioid-dependent/misusing
patient) is generally not under sufficiently strong motivation to
avoid the disease. The introduction concludes with a survey of
recent containment approaches, categorized epidemiologically by
target (agent, vector, host.) The remainder of the book is
organized according to this framework, addressing agent,
vector/transmission and host, respectively. Sections Three and Four
comprise the major focus of the book, and are dedicated primarily
to practical education for primary care providers in preventing
opioid use disorder, and overcoming it after the fact.
