On February 6, 2025, Professor Regina LaBelle, Director of the M.S. in Addiction Policy & Practice program, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health Subcommittee’s hearing on “Combatting Existing and Emerging Illicit Drug Threats.” Her testimony highlighted the need for bipartisan solutions and continue building a public health approach to drug policy. Several current students were in attendance as well.

Due to the sudden removal or stoppage of federal government data, research, and funding, the gains we have seen in the field, including a historic drop in overdose deaths, are at risk. Read Professor LaBelle’s full testimony on the O’Neill Institute’s website.
