What is Drug Addiction?

Did you know that, on average, 1,000 Americans die every week from drug overdoses? There's an overwhelming amount of prejudice and misinformation around drug addiction and substance use disorders, making it difficult to seek treatment. Drug addiction can be influenced by many factors ranging from things like medical prescriptions to economic status. Some of the ways to address this ever-growing issue is through policy, through education, and through harm reduction. It focuses on education-based programming, providing clean and safe resources, and to reduce stigma. Here at NYU GPH, we teach our students the skills needed to analyze the impacts of drug addiction and substance use, how to directly reach people on the ground, how to develop educational programs, and how to conduct and use evidence-based research to affect policies.
