‘One Pill Can Kill’ Campaign Raises Awareness of Opioid Crisis

(The Quinnipiac Chronicle) Quinnipiac University’s Department of Public Safety committed to bringing awareness about the dangers of counterfeit or illicit drugs that could be laced with deadly substances through the “One Pill Can Kill” campaign.

The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) created “One Pill Can Kill” in 2021.

“DEA created this campaign to encourage the use of social media to help raise public awareness of a significant nationwide surge in counterfeit pills that are mass-produced in labs, deceptively marketed as legitimate, and are killing Americans at an unprecedented rate,” according to the United States Drug Enforcement Administration official website.

“One Pill Can Kill” launched at Quinnipiac in 2022 to help fight the ongoing issue.
