In a large-scale effort to make fentanyl and counterfeit pill education resources available to non-English speaking communities, The Addiction Policy Forum today released fentanyl educational resources translated into 12 different languages. The video explainer, Facts about Fentanyl: Understanding the Risks, provides important information on counterfeit pills, the risks of fentanyl exposure, and steps communities and families can take to prevent overdose and substance use disorders.
With support from the Cencora Impact Foundation, the open-source educational campaign provides communities and families with limited English proficiency a toolbox of resources. Evidence-based, multilingual resources are essential in ensuring that all communities have access to accurate information to prevent the development of substance use disorders and reduce the risk of overdose.
