Description:
Addiction is a chronic disease of the brain that can alter cognitive functioning, mood, and behavior, with negative effects on multiple health outcomes. Substance use disorders involving tobacco, alcohol, and illicit and prescription drugs represent one of the largest threats to public health worldwide. The United States is no exception, where legalization in many states has rapidly changed accessibility to and social norms around cannabis, and the nation faces a serious crisis concerning addiction to opioids, including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers. This session brings together researchers who are interested in geographic topics relating to substance use and addiction,
This session is sponsored by the Health and Medical Geography, Spatial Analysis and Modeling, and the Geographic Information Science and Systems Specialty Groups
