Stanford Pain Relief Innovations Lab Guest Speaker Series: The Stanford-Lancet Commission on the North American Opioid Crisis (RECORDING)

Friday, July 7, 2023, 12:00 AM - Monday, July 6, 2026, 11:59 PM, On Demand

The Stanford Pain Relief Innovations lab, hosted by Dr. Beth Darnall, PhD, presents an online guest speaker series, inviting visiting professors in Pain Medicine, Pain Management and Pain Science. This topic is The Stanford-Lancet Commission on the North American Opioid Crisis presented by Keith Humphreys, PhD. Dr. Keith Humphreys is the Esther Ting Memorial Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. He is also a Senior Research Career Scientist at the VA Health Services Research Center in Palo Alto. Since 1999 more than 600,000 people in the USA and Canada have died from opioid overdose and a staggering 1.2 million more are estimated to die due to overdose by 2029. The Stanford-Lancet Commission was formed in response to the soaring opioid-related morbidity and mortality that the USA and Canada have experienced by analyzing the state of the opioid crisis and proposing solutions to it domestically while attempting to stop its spread internationally. The Commission identifies where renewed commitment to reform and progress must be made, including regulation, healthcare and treatment, the criminal justice system, prevention, innovation to the opioid response, and curtailing the global spread of the epidemic.
