Using Opioid Settlement Funds: Multi-Sector Strategies for Collaboration & Decision-Making (6/24/25)

Big Cities Health Coalition, Prevention Institute, and our partners – including ChangeLab Solutions and RTI International – are working collectively to support settlement fund efforts that align with public health values, prioritize prevention, and center the voices of people with lived and living experience.

This was the third and final webinar of a series on supporting decision-makers in using opioid settlement funds. During the webinar, ChangeLab Solutions described the local policy process, the key role partnerships play in supporting impactful allocation of opioid settlement funds, and strategies for developing regional and interagency collaborations. We were also joined by Brian Eller and Dr. Christina C. Bell Andrews from Pima County, Arizona who shared learnings from developing and managing their Regional Opioid Settlement Advisory Committee.
