OpportunityTitle: Research on Prescription Opioid Use, Opioid Prescribing, and Associated Heroin Risk.
Description: The purpose of this research is twofold: to investigate the patterns of prescription opioid pain reliever (OPR) use and misuse and transitions from OPR misuse to heroin use (Priority # 1); and whether OPR prescribing is a risk factor for heroin overdose, and if policies and strategies aimed at curbing inappropriate prescribing are associated with increased or decreased risk for heroin overdose (Priority # 2). Applicants are expected to submit one application to address either the first or second research priority.
