The goal of the Unintentional Prescription Drug Poisoning Project is to help reduce the rate of unintentional prescription drug overdose deaths in Montgomery County. To accomplish this, the project’s objectives are to: 1) participate in the Montgomery County Opiate Task Force; 2) maintain the Poison Death Review process; 3) implement the Coalition’s recommendations; 4) educate prescribers about OAARS; 5) offer training about the unintentional OD problem to heath care professionals; and 6) develop a social marketing strategy to reduce unintentional Rx overdoses. These objectives are essentially the same ones specified in the initial proposal except that the original Unintentional Drug Poisoning Task Force has been replaced by the Montgomery County Opiate Coalition, which is operated by the Montgomery County ADAMHS Board. Several members from the old Task Force now serve on the Montgomery County Opiate Coalition.
