Tuesday, Aug. 18 Webinar: Needle-borne Disease and Substance Abuse
|
Thursday, August 13, 2015 at 11:34 AMEarlier this year, Indiana experienced an outbreak of HIV in one small rural community that was traced back to needle-sharing among individuals using and abusing prescription drugs. Public health experts warn that other communities could encounter outbreaks of HIV and hepatitis C given the rampant abuse of prescription drugs and heroin.
CSG's FREE eCademy webcast at 2 p.m. on Aug. 18 will explore lessons from Indiana's experience, policy options that states might pursue and the latest research on effective treatment of substance abuse.
