a Crisis:

Opioids in America

WATCH NOW

What will end the opioid epidemic?

Drug overdoses are the number one accidental killer of Americans. More than half of those deaths involve opioids and powerful new synthetics that are highly addictive and potentially fatal when abused. This epidemic seems to have no end in sight. The Atlantic explored how the nation can overcome this deadly crisis.

This event was an official part of The Atlantic Festival. Find more information on the Festival here.
