Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is emerging as a public health crisis that is disproportionately impacting Black communities in the United States and is an issue that needs immediate attention. Black people have higher rates of CVD and tend to develop this condition at an earlier age than non-Hispanic white populations. By the year 2060, projected rates of CVD are expected to increase significantly in the U.S., disproportionately affecting Black people. The webinar will cover potential solutions, including how policy makers can take action to reverse the trend. Register at Bit.ly/NMQF0301

BlackFacesBlackVoices — 2024-02-28 16:19:45 UTC

Opioid-related overdose increased sharply during the COVID-19 pandemic highlighting the need to understand the impact of Big Events on overdose and the types of policy measures that can prevent similar increases from future events.

In this presentation, Dr. Magdalena Cerdá will present the methods her team will use on a newly funded study to explore the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on overdose and related outcomes; identify policy responses to COVID-19 that affected individual-level overdose risk; and examine how the pandemic’s impact on overdose risk varied across communities and populations.
