Preparation of Presentation to An Elected Official
The Florida, opioid epidemic is a very relevant healthcare concern leading to drug
overdose related deaths. This paper is the groundwork for the presentation of the opioid epidemic
and the proposed solution to an elected official. I will discuss the population group relative to the
community and go over communication techniques in order to speak with an elected official. At
the end there will be a self-evaluation of the video presentation and a summary of the paper
assignment.
Overview of the Health Concern and Proposed Solution
The healthcare concern for policy change is the opioid epidemic in the State of Florida. Every life
loss from the growing epidemic problem of substance abuse occurring from the use ofopioids, is
someone’s child. This is a real crisis and I have experienced it firsthand at the loss of my 25-year-
old son from a drug overdose. The population group is a variety of ages, genders andraces mainly
consisting of middle and high schoolers and young adults. In 2017 the rate of overdose deaths
involving opioid prescriptions rose to 6.0 deaths per 100,000 persons. There wasan 889 increase
of opioid deaths in the state of Florida 2017 resulting in 1,272 lives lost (National Institute on
Drug Abuse, [NIDA] 2019). Because this has affected my home taking mysons life, it has brought
keen awareness to the epidemic problem. I want to assist in advocating for a healthcare policy
change to prevent further harm to the families and loved one’s in our communities.
The solution that I will be proposing to the elected official includes; suggesting an
amendment to the bill S1360 Alternative Treatments to Controlled Substances from a
recommend specified alternative treatment plan, instead to provide an available state funded
facility where alternative treatments can be given in place of prescribed narcotics. Practitioners
