“The severity of the opioid epidemic in the United States is clear,” said Ellen Glover, executive vice president at ICF. “Since 1999, deaths from prescription opioids have more than quadrupled.

We are honored to partner with GW to facilitate the gathering of experts from academia, industry, and government to shed light on this crisis.”
This forum is the latest in an ongoing research and evaluation forum series co-sponsored by ICF and GW. The series explores public health related topics such as behavioral science, cancer, childhood immunization, e-cigarettes, mobile health, obesity, worksite wellness survey methods.
