A majority of New Jerseyans are at least “somewhat” familiar with storage and disposal of
opioids and other medications, and less than 3 in 10 report that they or a loved one has been
prescribed an opioid as pain medication in the past two years, according to the latest Rutgers-Eagleton Poll collaboration with the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey.

Results are from a statewide poll of 1,657 adults contacted through multiple modes, including by live interviewer on landline and cell phone, MMS text invitation to web and the probabilitybased Rutgers-Eagleton/SSRS Garden State Panel from Dec. 13 to Dec. 23.
