Many U.S. teens underestimate fentanyl’s deadly risk | Using the synthetic opioid once could be lethal, but many adolescents aren’t aware of the danger, researchers report in JAMA Read Full Article #FentanylAwareness #TeensAndDrugs #PublicHealthScience
🚨 U.S. teens significantly underestimate fentanyl's lethal potential, with a majority of 8th-graders and about a third of 10th- and 12th-graders not seeing a great risk from using it once or twice.
🚫 Fentanyl, up to 50 times more potent than heroin, can be deadly even with a single use, yet many adolescents are unaware of this extreme danger.
💊 The primary way teens are exposed to fentanyl is unknowingly through counterfeit prescription drugs, often contaminated with the opioid or made entirely of it.
📊 Data from the 2025 Monitoring the Future study, published July 7 in JAMA Network Open, surveyed nearly 4,000 students on their perception of fentanyl's risks.
