This event has ended, but don't worry we have a new forum each week!
There were 4,293 reported deaths due to opioid overdose in 2017, making Ohio the state with the second-highest rate of overdose deaths in the US. Fentanyl accounted for 3,523 of those deaths, a 25-fold increase over 2012.
To discuss where Ohio is headed in its fight against opioid addiction, we welcome Dave Yost, Attorney General of the State of Ohio. Yost will discuss the approaches both law enforcement and the judiciary are taking, as well as medical research, treatment options, and the flow of settlement money. Karen Kasler, Bureau Chief of the Statehouse News Bureau, will interview.
