If you choose to use existing materials, then you must document the source or explain how they acquired the materials.

When surveys or tests are used as outcome measures, each must be described briefly with an appropriate citation. Indicate the number of items, response categories and how it is scored. If researchers develop their own surveys, they must describe how the measure was constructed and provide the entire measure in the Appendix. It is also important to document the reliability and validity of all of your measures. For reliability, specify what estimation procedure(s) you used. For validity, you must explain how you assessed construct validity.

Description OVERVIEW:

The dramatic increase in use of prescription opioids among patients and combined use of opioids with other licit and illicit, drugs and alcohol is staggering. Nearly 2 million Americans ages 12 and older have a substance use disorder involving prescription opioids, according to federal data.

The epidemic we are experiencing needs to be fought from many directions. Federal, state and local government have responded by putting laws and regulations in place to face the opiate addiction problem in the U.S. Some argue that the measures put in place to combat over prescribing and diversion of opiates will not help or will even worsen the problem by turning prescription users to heroin. Prescribing guidelines and new legislation and laws are being created to help both at the state level and the federal level.

YOU CAN USE CURRENT OUTSIDE SCHOLARLY RESOURCES TO HELP ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: Be sure to restate the question itself before each response so it is clear which you are answering. 1) What more needs to be done in the United States to enhance law enforcement efforts to combat diversion, educate our young people about the dangers of drug abuse, and increase access to treatment for addicts? 2) One response to the opioid epidemic has been to promote widespread distribution of naloxone. What is your position on this and other harm reduction measures? 3) Do you think the new laws, rules, and regulation proposed or in place is effective? What else should or could be done?
