Description

Prompt 1: According to the C-SPAN video you watched (Week 1 Required Video), who are the key stakeholders in this crisis? How would you classify them and why (low power/high legitimacy or high power/low legitimacy)? What healthcare policies, if any, contributed to the rise of the opioid crisis? What ethical issues resulted because of these policies? What changes could correct these ethical infractions?

Prompt 2: During weeks 1–4, you will be working through a real-world scenario, Pathways to Safer Opioid Use. Each week, you will play the part of one of the characters, making decisions along the way. Your decisions will influence the outcome of the scenario. By working through these characters, you will gain an interdisciplinary insight into how you will interact with others as a public health professional on the opioid crisis.
