Who Is Responsible for the Opioid Epidemic: The Patient or the
Physician?
America’s well-known opioid epidemic has stripped more than
400,000 individuals of their lives and entangled over 2 million
more in addiction (King, 2018). The media has downplayed the ongoing risks of
the highly addictive prescription narcotics while simultaneously profiting from
its spiraling misuse. The purpose of this study is to find out who community
members think is responsible for the opioid crisis, the users, their doctors or
pharmaceutical companies.

examines the Penrose Organization’s seeming contradiction of the mainstream
interpretation of political machines, which focuses on greedy self-interest,
through its support of progressive municipal reform efforts.
