Presented by Dr. Claire Clark, Ph.D, MPH

The current opioid epidemic is not the first our country has faced; in fact, it’s the third. This presentation compares and contrasts the current opioid epidemic with similar crises that took place fifty and one hundred years ago and emphasizes Kentucky’s centrality in the ongoing national narrative about addiction’s causes and cures.

Dr. Clark is the Educational Coordinator and Assistant Professor of University of Kentucky’s Department of Behavioral Science. Dual trained as an historian of medicine (PhD) and behavioral scientist (MPH), she dedicates most of her effort to developing educational programs with secondary effort dedicated to research and service.
She is the author of The Recovery Revolution: The Battle Over Addiction Treatment in the United States.
