  Construction is one of the industries that has been hit hardest by the opioid crisis, and CPWR has been responding in multiple ways. With support and guidance from the North America’s Building Trade Union Opioid Task Force and funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CPWR undertook three projects to promote strategies for reducing opioid use. The first created a communications framework to reframe stigmatizing narratives into effective messages that promote primary prevention—that is, preventing injuries that might lead to prescribing of opioids. The second refined and distributed a one-hour opioid hazard awareness training module, and the third assessed opportunities for and barriers to the expansion and improvement of existing union peersupport programs for treatment and recovery.
