Pilot study of program to combat opioid addiction
Penn social policy students plan pilot study of program to combat opioid addictionA team of students from the School of Social Policy & Practice—made up of Matt Miclette, Memphis Madden, Sarah Parkinson, and Anne Futterer—has proposed a practical solution: a program that enables people to take unused medication to drop-boxes placed inside pharmacies in Philadelphia. The students are piloting a six-month study to determine the feasibility of their plan.
Great to see some students coming up with a grassroots action plan!
