The Tennessee Lookout reports that the RAND Corporation has released a 600-page report on America’s response to the national opioid crisis. The report states that lawmakers should view the crisis through an “ecosystems” approach, meaning that they should examine the gaps and interconnections among emergency response, data collection, education, treatment, housing and law enforcement. The report encourages federal, state and local lawmakers to think “beyond traditional silos” and innovate ways to stem adverse effects of addiction and increasing drug overdose deaths among Americans.
