Economics:
Community plagued by chronic pain, but doctors are afraid to prescribe opiates
due to current epidemic
Residents are unable to control pain, so they turn to others’ prescription drugs
and/or illicit drugs like heroin, meth, or marijuana

Community Nursing Diagnosis: Risk of injury from opioids and other prescribed
medications among residents of CT 4505, related to mismanagement of chronic
pain, addiction, and experimentation, as evidenced by multiple key informant
interviews indicating abuse and 56 drug-related police incidents within a six week
period in this area.
Good Goal: Increase the knowledge of how to properly dispose of opioids and
other prescribed medications among residents of CT 4505 to decrease substance
abuse and injury.
