Demand-side Factors Influencing Endemic Drug Use in America
September 25 - 2 p.m.
Presented by: Michael Betz, The Ohio State University

The American drug epidemic has become one of the most devastating public health crises of the past century. Recent investigations into the factors driving the crisis have typically fallen into either supply-side explanations (e.g. increased supply of prescription opioids) or demand-side factors (e.g. employment, mental health, relationships). This webinar focuses on the current research investigating demand-side factors influencing overdose deaths in the U.S. and aims to synthesize the findings into a unified narrative.
