This video was created in collaboration with NIDA's CTN and staff from the University of Pennsylvania Center for Addiction Medicine and Policy. It was produced in response to the more than 80 thousand opioid overdose deaths that occurred in 2020 largely driven by the illegally produced fentanyl that contaminates illegally produced opioids and benzodiazepines, as well as cocaine and synthetic cannabinoids. Additional information is provided regarding the impact of fentanyl on minorities, the need for broad-reaching awareness & education about the risks of fentanyl exposure, the warning signs of a possible overdose, and the use of naloxone.
