The Addiction Evidence Project Advisory Group met on June 20, to develop a policy inventory for overdose reversal and other forms of harm reduction. The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians Executive Vice President Ann Spicer is a member of the advisory group that meets regularly to provide input to the Health Policy Institute of Ohio (HPIO) on their Addiction Evidence Project.
The Addiction Evidence Project provides policymakers and other stakeholders with information needed to address substance use disorders in a comprehensive, effective and efficient way. The first inventory and scorecard developed by the HPIO addresses three topics: prevention, treatment, and recovery. Future reports will address additional topics including overdose reversal (naloxone).
