Brevard County Invites Citizens to Participate in Opioid Epidemic Survey



BREVARD COUNTY, FL. – In an effort to address the ongoing threat posed by opioids such as heroin and fentanyl, the Brevard County Housing and Human Services department invites residents to answer survey questions on the perceived impact of opioid misuse on area communities. 

This 11-question Opioid Epidemic Awareness Survey is now available and will be open until Dec. 13. Survey results will help County government and partners to develop comprehensive opioid misuse prevention and response plans aimed at supporting healthier communities.  

“It’s important to hear from our residents,” said Ian Golden, Department Director of Housing and Human Services. “Opioid misuse has been recognized as a major public health issue within the county in recent years, and we believe listening to our residents is key to developing an appropriate, efficient response that keeps the community safe.” 

For additional questions regarding the survey or Brevard County’s opioid epidemic response, contact Public Information Officer Rachel Horst at Rachel.Horst@BrevardFL.gov or 321-634-2165.
