Abstract

This project was completed as part of a partnership between the League of Minnesota Cities and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). The goal of this project was to identify the role cities should play in addressing the opioid epidemic. League of Minnesota Cities project lead Luke Fischer collaborated with students in Dr. Greg Lindsay’s course, PA 8081: Planning and Public Affairs Capstone, to identify cities both nationally and in Minnesota that are coordinating effective opioid response programs, and to determine themes across different programs that practitioners may consider in crafting similar response measures. A final student report, a visual report, and a presentation is available. A videorecording of the students' final presentation is also available at https://vimeo.com/418512328.
