THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FIGHTING THE
OPIOID EPIDEMIC The opioid crisis has devastated families and
communities across the United States. Changes in policing and
medical practices have been swift, but they've achieved only a
modest impact on the fundamental causes of substance misuse and
addiction. The necessity for upstream intervention is clear. But
what does that look like? A Public Health Guide to Ending the
Opioid Epidemic does what only a public health approach can: offer
credible, scalable, and empirically supported approaches to
uprooting one of society's most pernicious challenges. It
systemizes the core tenets of the public health approach to
substance misuse and addiction, which alongside clinical approaches
(prescription guidelines and monitoring, increased access to
overdose-reversal medication, and medication-assisted treatment
availability) offers a roadmap for end-to-end response to this
diverse problem. Core elements of the public health approach, all
covered here in practical terms, include: * How to support
community-based, primary prevention of substance misuse and
addiction in different settings and populations * How to
effectively address the cultural, social, and environmental aspects
of health that are driving the current epidemic * How governmental
public health agencies play a significant role in responding to the
epidemic, both in the field's traditional model of disease
surveillance and control and in more directed approaches to health
promotion (building community resilience; addressing the impact of
adverse childhood events; mitigating the root causes of addiction)
These frameworks offer a foundation for understanding, analyzing,
and meaningfully impacting the burden of opioid misuse and
addiction in any population or setting. A Public Health Guide to
Ending the Opioid Epidemic is a roadmap for meaningful change.
