Tackling Opioids through Prevention for Athletes (TOP)
“Young adults who participate in athletics may be at greater risk to engage in nonmedical prescription opioid use because of their greater risk of injury or because of a greater opportunity to receive diverted opioid medications from teammates." Journal of Adolescent Health, 2013
