Findings/Key points

Every empirical approach includes its own strengths and limitations. Every scholarly discipline and practice community contributes its own expertise, suffers from its own blind-spots, and experiences the realities of human overconfidence and group-think. We must learn from each other, particularly as we design or evaluate critical interventions to ad- dress the agony of the overdose epidemic.
