As the opioid crisis surges throughout the US, there are many opportunities for CRNAs to be involved and advocate for solutions through leadership or participation in collaborative initiatives within their community. Each state’s opioid epidemic experience, resources and needs are unique. Therefore, state leaders and the AANA have developed a toolkit to provide considerations for State Associations of Nurse Anesthetists and individual SRNAs and CRNAs to identify opportunities to create, lead or serve on a state or community opioid-related initiative. The toolkit and state resource repository are available at www.aana.com/OpioidToolkit. (Information provided by AANA)
