Utah

 Updated: May 2010

Utah took legislative steps this session to curb prescription drugs abuse, passing nine bills that target prescription misuse and abuse.
 
Prescription drug deaths are the number one cause of injury deaths in Utah. In 2009, 310 individuals in Utah died of non-illicit drug overdoses, up from the 277 in 2008.

  • Phoning your legislator
  • Speaking to organizations in your community about this legislation
  • Submitting a Letter to the Editor or an Opinion Editorial to your local media outlet
  • Becoming a member of S.O.S.
