The Coalition for a Drug Free Cincinnati (CDFGC) is currently in the process of gathering data as part of our community assessment of prescription drug/over the counter (Rx/OTC) use in the Greater Cincinnati region.

We have created a system to conduct online focus groups to gain community member perception of Rx/OTC misuse. We need the help of our local coalitions to identify individuals to take our online focus group survey.  CDFGC will be able to break down the data we receive and share it with local coalitions.   A variety of individuals from all professions are welcome to be a part of the focus groups including coaches, teachers, juvenile court judges, school resource officers, guidance counselors, principals, nurses, emergency room physicians, youth ministers, pharmacists, PTA members, and county coroners.

Please contact Nicole Schiesler at (513) 751-8000 or nschiesler@drugfreecincinnati.org if you are a local coalition member or represent one of the noted professions above. CDFGC will need contact information to invite individuals to participate in the focus groups. Representation is needed from Clermont, Butler, Warren, Hamilton, and Brown counties in Ohio; Campbell, Boone, and Kenton counties in Kentucky; and Franklin and Dearborn counties in Indiana.
