In this episode, Vanda Felbab-Brown discusses the fentanyl and opioid crisis in Nevada with Dr. Anne Weisman and Dr. Sara Hunt of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). They analyze the high rates of opioid misuse in the state and the resulting strain on health systems and behavioral health workers as well as coroners, a professional group essential in responding to drug use, but often neglected in policy focus. Their conversation explores the significant innovations that the state of Nevada adopted as a result of UNLV research and policy work and ways in which it can serve as an exemplar to other U.S. localities struggling with inadequate resources to deal with fentanyl.
