Heroin/Prescription Drug Education &
Awareness Campaign
From January – June 2015, MACY Drug Task Force
researched and developed a Prescription Drug and
Heroin Survey. A billboard displayed Marshfield drug
facts and advertised community perception survey
(June – July 2015). The survey was conducted in July
2015 in an effort to gauge the community’s
perception of prescription drug abuse and heroin
use in Marshfield.
Highlights:
• In 1.5 weeks, 438 people completed the
electronic survey.
• Over 80% felt illicit prescription drug and heroin
Billboard advertising the Prescription Drug and
use was a moderate or serious problem in
Heroin perception survey
Marshfield.
• 70% were moderately or extremely concerned about the effects of illicit prescription
drug and heroin use (i.e. increase in crime and violence in Marshfield, health effects of
using illicit prescription drugs or heroin use, legal implications for individual if they are
caught and easy access to illicit prescription drugs or heroin).
• 77.5% of participants stated additional education on prescription drug and heroin use
would have some impact or be useful to them.
Results from the community perception survey indicated a need for continued education
regarding prescription drug abuse and heroin use. The most useful communication tools
indicated were:
• Social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter)
• Law enforcement updates
• Community events/presentations
Based on above, MACY will focus efforts on building a workplan to develop more frequent
social media posts, provide regular law enforcement updates, develop a speaker’s bureau to
provide presentations to the community, and engage with the private and public schools in
development of public awareness materials.
In September 2015, a community prescription drug and heroin education and awareness
campaign was released at the Central Wisconsin State Fair.
• 20 coalition members volunteered to educate the public on Marshfield drug trends and
statistics.
