NASPA Joins Allied Against Opioid Abuse
The National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations recently joined leading partners across the pharmaceutical drug supply chain and public health organizations to launch Allied Against Opioid Abuse (AAOA), a national education and awareness initiative to help combat the nation’s opioid epidemic. AAOA brings NASPA together with other key healthcare community stakeholders, including the Caregiver Action Network, Healthcare Distribution Alliance, Mental Health America (MHA), National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE), and the PA Foundation, to educate about the rights, risks and responsibilities associated with prescription opioids.
To learn more about this initiative and view educational tools and resources developed by the coalition, visit www.AgainstOpioidAbuse.org or follow AAOA on Twitter. We look forward to sharing more updates with you as the coalition continues its work and urge you to reach out if you’d like to be involved with the initiative.
