SESSION I — ENVISIONING DISPOSAL SYSTEMS TO REMOVE OPIOIDS FROM THE HOME

Session Objectives:

  • Describe the properties or characteristics that an ideal in-home disposal system might possess such that it minimizes barriers to patient use.
  • Consider under what circumstances people will use an in-home disposal system, with a focus on conditions that impede use and how those can be overcome.
  • Discuss how human-centered design can inform the goals, development, and use of in-home disposal systems.
  • Discuss health equity considerations in developing and implementing in-home disposal systems.

SESSION III — SCIENTIFIC CONSIDERATIONS FOR IN-HOME OPIOID DISPOSAL

Session Objectives:

  • Identify ideal characteristics of an in-home disposal system from a mechanistic, safety, and environmental perspective.
  • Explore the scientific considerations for in-home drug disposal systems that could be used to remove unused opioid analgesics from the home.
  • Discuss what is known/unknown about available and developing methods (e.g., sequestration, adsorption, absorption) by which in-home disposal systems work, assuming the product is used as intended.
  • Discuss scientific approaches for assessing and gathering data on the environmental impact of in-home drug disposal systems.
