Ole Miss raising fentanyl awareness in hopes to prevent abuse
SUMMARY: The University of Mississippi has received a $3.2 million grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to combat fentanyl abuse and prevent overdose deaths in northern Mississippi. The initiative focuses on educating pharmacists in 28 underserved communities, particularly targeting high school and college students. The program will teach pharmacists how to use Narcan and fentanyl testing strips. Over the next year, the goal is to expand this educational effort statewide, aiming to equip more pharmacists and students with essential knowledge to address the rising fentanyl crisis.
