Addiction

For this assessment, we would like you to read the following article and critically consider the example of addiction provided:
Kolodny, A., Courtwright, D. T., Hwang, C. S., Kreiner, P., Eadie, J. L., Clark, T. W., & Alexander, G. C. (2015). The prescription opioid and heroin crisis: A public health approach to an epidemic of addiction. Annual Review of Public Health, 36, 559-574. https://doi.org/10.1146/annurev-publhealth-031914-122957
Discussion Questions (in no particular order): • How can the ‘drug, set, setting’ schema be used to explain this example of addiction? • The article raises the 19th century opioid epidemic in relation to the current situation. Compare and contrast the two historical epidemic from the current one. • The article is very American-centric. Discuss the issues raised in an Australian context.
