Summary:

Are there strategies to prevent illicit drug use?

Over 47,000 people died of drug overdoses in the United States in 2014—more than any previous year on record—according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Preventing the use of illicit drugs (which includes the misuse of prescription drugs) is less expensive than treating addiction. We convened a diverse panel of education, health care, and law enforcement experts on June 22, 2016, to discuss strategies to prevent this drug use. This report highlights key ideas from the forum, including strategies for reducing the number of opioid prescriptions.
