Escalent Explores the Systemic Nature of America's Opioid CrisisEscalent, a top human behavior and analytics firm, today published a study examining the nationwide opioid crisis through the lens of consumer attitudes.

About the study Escalent interviewed a sample of 972 consumers living in a household within the United States in one of the nine Census Defined regions age 18+ between August 10-14 in 2018. Respondents were recruited from Full-Circle opt-in online panel of US adults and were interviewed online. The data were weighted by age, gender, and census region to match the demographics of the US population. Due to its opt-in nature, this online panel (like most others) does not yield a random probability sample of the target population. As such, it is not possible to compute a margin of error or to statistically quantify the accuracy of projections. Escalent will supply the exact wording of any survey question upon request.
