This course was very helpful for me. I learnt about the risks of opioid use, misue, abuse. Measures to prevent them and to educate public as well as non-prescribes on Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Several people are working to prevent overdose and disorders of opioids, so i would like to share my knowledge on what i have learnt to the people around me. Thank you!
