Fentanyl Risk Communication, Boston, Massachusetts, 2018-2019

This study uses qualitative interviews to describe experiences with and preferences for risk communication among three different groups: 1) People 18-25 years old who report using fentanyl, 2) those 35 years old and older who report using fentanyl, and 3) clinicians and community health workers in outpatient-based addiction treatment or harm reduction programs. Within each group, equal numbers of women and men were interviewed to explore age and gender differences in perceptions and preferences.
