Working with five states, the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) developed a state learning community model to address prescription drug overdose misuse, abuse and diversion. The model addresses prevention, monitoring, enforcement, treatment and recovery as issues that states should act upon comprehensively rather than in silos.

Public health or related public policy

Learning Objectives:
Identify key recommendations for states in prevention, and treatment of prescription drug overdose misuse and diversion.
