December’s DEI Book Club Pick

“Drug overdose had already taken the lives of 300,000 Americans over the past fifteen years, and experts now predicted that 300,000 more would die in only the next five. It is now the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of fifty, killing more people than guns or car accidents, at a rate higher than the HIV epidemic at its peak.”  – Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America

This month the DEI Book Club, hosted by the School of Public Health, will discuss Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company that Addicted America by Beth Macy as its December read.

The Book Club will discuss Dopesick on Zoom on Wednesday, December 7th at 12pm.
