Session Description
The posters in this session all examine various aspects of the politics of the opioid crisis in the United States, including assessments of public attitudes, the boundaries between the criminal justice and health fields of practice, policy agenda-setting, and a deep dive into prosecutions for overdoses. The studies rely on various methodological approaches, from media analysis to surveys to experiments and extensive qualitative interviewing. The discussants will elevate common themes and shared challenges to advance collective understanding of the dynamic policy response and politics at the national, state, and local levels.
