The purpose of this project is to: 1) evaluate the extent to which the State developed a state-wide, data-informed strategy to identify, implement, and drive effective programs and policies that enhance New Jersey’s efforts to prevent and reduce opioid overuse, misuse, abuse, and overdose; and 2) identify ways to enhance the New Jersey Prescription Monitoring Program (NJPMP) and related policies in order to maximize New Jersey’s ability to prevent and reduce opioid overuse, misuse, abuse, and overdose. Activities include observation of meetings and events, key informant interviews, and technical assistance as requested.
