What is RACK?
Rapid Assessment of Consumer Knowledge (RACK) is a brief, mixed methods research approach to gain insight into local challenges and responses to the opioid crisis as shared by the people who use drugs there. RACK reaches beyond clinical and administrative data to learn about fentanyl and other drug use, treatment experiences and access, and the lived effects of recent policies, like prescribing limits and the Good Samaritan Law.
