Fentanyl Facts and Overdose Risks - New APF eCourse Available
Synthetic opioids, like fentanyl, were involved in 65% of all overdose deaths in the US by June, 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Law enforcement agencies report that fentanyl is present in all 50 states in urban, suburban and rural communities.
The Addiction Policy Forum, in partnership with the Justice Community Opioid Innovation Network (JCOIN) at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), developed an eCourse, Fentanyl Facts and Increased Overdose Risk, to raise awareness of the risks associated with fentanyl and other synthetic opioids among practitioners, law enforcement, public health officials and families.
The course takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. (Addiction Policy Forum, USA, 10.02.2025)
