Practical Theorist 13: Fentanyl – Why Fentanyl/Why Now

CADCA (Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America), November 2022

In this video from the CADCA Research Into Action Webinar Series, Dr. Albert Terrillion (CADCA), Dr. Grant Baldwin (CDC), and Ms. Merilee Fowler (MATFORCE and Community Counts) provide an overview of fentanyl – pharmaceutical and illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF) – and why it is one of the most dangerous substances circulating around the nation. The presenters focus on its effects on vulnerable populations, particularly youth, and discuss ways to implement different strategies (i.e., CADCA’s Seven Strategies for Community Change) to further improve prevention efforts.
