Non-medical use of prescription opioids and the use of dangerous street opioids are on the rise across the U.S. and both are particularly dangerous to youth. A multi-disciplinary community roundtable was held in December 2022 in Teton County to proactively develop our local capacity to prevent opioid addiction and overdose deaths. This roundtable event included a dynamic educational segment based on the grant-funded research conducted by MSU Extension. This collaborative effort between the MSU Extension Family & Human Development Team, the Teton County MSU Extension, and the Teton County Health Department exemplifies the collaborative spirit and research-based approach of MSU Extension.
