    (Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, 2019-06) Childress, Samantha; Nannery, Rebecca; Greene, Marion; Watson, Dennis
    Between January and March of 2019, the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling (ECPIP) at Rutgers University administered the second phase of the Indiana Young Adults Survey to a sample of the young adult population between the ages of 18-25 in each of the 10 PFS counties. Sampling included email and text message recruitment of those who completed the first phase of data collection and agreed to be contacted again, as well as text recruitment from two approved vendor lists, including both registered and non-registered voters. An oversample was done in Cass, Clark, Lake, Porter, and Vanderburgh counties to ensure the minimum number of respondents was met. A total of 887 individuals completed the survey, exceeding the target.

    (Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, 2018-10-18) Watson, Dennis; Duwve, Joan; Greene, Marion; Weathers, Tess; Huynh, Philip; Nannery, Rebecca
    The impact of the opioid crisis is vast, with its effects impacting individuals, families, and communities as a whole. The epidemic has evolved – what began largely as a prescription opioid problem surged into the street, where heroin and “fake” pills resembling prescription drugs are now often laced with deadly amounts of illegally produced fentanyl. The evolving epidemic has compelled an evolving response, including new and more diverse strategies, and the engagement of multiple sectors of the community beyond health care, including employers, schools, nonprofit agencies, government agencies, law enforcement and policymakers. This report updates a 2016 report by the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health to describe the current landscape of the evolving opioid epidemic in Marion County, Indiana, and across the state.
