The 2017 Monitoring the Future survey of 8th, 10th and 12th graders shows encouraging news. it's getting harder for teens to access prescription opioids. Only 35.8 percent of 12th graders said they were easily available in the 2017 survey, compared to more than 54 percent in 2010[1] Overall, 43,703 students from 360 public and private schools participated in this year's MTF survey.[2]

Add stats here.
Examples of Easy Access to Opioids
Skittles Parties: A Skittles Party could take the form of a home filled with teenagers where everyone brings all the prescription medications they have on hand and pool them. Then anyone at the party who wants to abuse a pill just dips in and grabs whatever they want.[1]
Geo-Mapping Initiative
Check out more info on the Opioid Mapping Initiative which location-based maps that detail indicators crucial to addressing the opioid crisis. This could be used in many communities nationwide to identify gaps in services and prevention resources, where the most prescription and deaths rates are the highest in order to be target efforts.
