DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn response to a growing epidemic, in late 2011 Mayor Bloomberg created the multi-agency Task Force on Prescription Painkiller Abuse (Task Force). Co-chaired by Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Linda Gibbs and Chief Policy Advisor John Feinblatt, the Task Force's mission is to develop and implement coordinated strategies for responding to the growth of opioid painkiller misuse and diversion in New York City. Over the past two decades, the use of prescription opioid painkillers has dramatically increased. While these drugs are important tools in the treatment of pain, they are also associated with significant problems, including misuse, addiction, diversion, and overdose deaths. National statistics show dramatic increases in sales of painkillers as well as admissions for substance abuse treatment and deaths. Leaders participating in the Task Force reached broad agreement on some key strategies to reduce painkiller abuse: improving clinician prescribing practices; targeting the City's health and law enforcement activities through data analysis and secure data-sharing; raising awareness through public education campaigns and effectively investigating, arresting and prosecuting professionals who knowingly divert opioids.
