UTAH (ABC4) – National Prevention Week (NPW) is approaching. May 8 through May 14 will serve as a national public educational period where communities and organizations will come together to raise awareness about the importance of substance use prevention and positive mental health, as noted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the organization behind the movement.
To kick off NPW 2022, WalletHub released a report on the states with the largest drug problems to highlight the areas most affected by the issue. The company compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia using 21 key metrics, including arrest and overdose rates as well as opioid prescriptions and employee drug testing laws.
