Carroll, assistant professor of anthropology, joined colleagues from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to present on collaborative public health/public safety research and evidence-based interventions to prevent opioid overdose.
Assistant Professor of Anthropology Jennifer Carroll presented her work, conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTAs), for the second year in a row.
This year, Carroll and fellow panellists from the CDC/HIDTA Overdose Repsonse Strategy shared data collected through an interdisciplinary research project exploring implementation methods for linking individuals with opioid use disorder to evidence-based care following an interaction with law enforcement. Carroll's presentation specifically focused on the development and findings of a major review of available evidence on strategies to prevent opioid overdose, which was published by the CDC in 2018.
