The Current State of Missouri’s Overdose Crisis and Recent Mitigation Strategies
Tuesday, March 7, 2023 12 PM to 1 PM
About this Event
Brown Hall, St. Louis, MO 63130
This March we welcome Rachel Winograd to Brown Lounge for Public Health Speaker Series. She will give a talk called "The Current State of Missouri’s Overdose Crisis and Recent Mitigation Strategies."
This talk will describe the recent landscape of drug use and overdose deaths in Missouri, including the ever-expanding role of fentanyl in our drug supply and the increase in deaths involving stimulants like methamphetamine and cocaine. Though ongoing initiatives have understandably continued to focus on increasing access to medical treatments for Opioid Use Disorder and opioid-related harm reduction initiatives, the necessity of greater implementation of stimulant-focused intervention strategies is clear.
This lecture is free and open to public. Register here for the link, or to attend in person: https://wustl.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0kdeGprT0oE9xPoVUk1fAnGiSjyURxxqem
