GW/ICF Presents Forum #7: Opioid Use: An Epidemic of Addiction, not Abuse

Frank Sesno chats with JD Vance during their fireside chat at the Opioid Forum held on November 1st

Since 1999, the number of overdose deaths involving opioids has quadrupled. Each day, 91 Americans die from an opioid overdose. The challenge is clear: this growing, nationwide drug epidemic needs to end. But where do we begin?

ICF and the George Washington University (GW) joined forces again for the 7th Research and Evaluation Forum on opioid use. Held on Wednesday, November 1st from 11 am to 1 pm, the standing room only audience was captivated by Frank Sesno's "fireside chat" with JD Vance, author of best seller, Hillbilly Elegy." For more, see the GW Today article.
