that Miss America 2020 is a scientist? Camille Schrier earned her bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and systems biology and is studying for a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. (Her entry in the Miss America talent competition was a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8dLm1JzicQ">very cool chemistry demonstration</a>.) </p> <p><br> Ms. Schrier has said her goal as Miss America is to help educate the country about the importance of using medications safely. She recently sat down for a virtual conversation with NIDA’s Director, Dr. Nora Volkow, about <a href="/drug-topics/prescription-medicines">prescription pain medications (opioids)</a>. They discussed why people use opioids, how misusing them can lead to serious health problems, and how to safely use opioids. Below, check out a few video clips from their conversation!</p> <p>In this clip, Dr. Volkow describes how and when prescription opioids are intended to be used:</p> <article class="align-center video-600 article--remote-video"> <div class="max-w-600 align-center pb-2-4"> <div class="max-w-600 remote-video-embed play-button__wrapper youtube" data-vid-id="rk7yFCj2VxY" data-vid-title="What are opioids used for when they're being used properly?" data-vid-src="youtube"> <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/rk7yFCj2VxY/sddefault.jpg" alt="What are opioids used for when they're being used properly?" async class="play-video"> <button class="play-button"></button> </div> <a href="/media/6982" class="text-button"><i class="fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-right"></i>View Transcript</a> </div> </article> <p>Here, Dr. Volkow talks about some myths about addiction:</p> <article class="align-center video-600 article--remote-video"> <div class="max-w-600 align-center pb-2-4"> <div class="max-w-600 remote-video-embed play-button__wrapper youtube" data-vid-id="eKWfSkuktBQ" data-vid-title="How do you view misinformation about opioid addiction and substance use?" data-vid-src="youtube"> <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/eKWfSkuktBQ/sddefault.jpg" alt="How do you view misinformation about opioid addiction and substance use?" async class="play-video"> <button class="play-button"></button> </div> <a href="/media/6983" class="text-button"><i class="fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-right"></i>View Transcript</a> </div> </article> <p>She discusses some of the steps that people who become dependent on, or addicted to, opioids might take to begin their journey of recovery:</p> <article class="align-center video-600 article--remote-video"> <div class="max-w-600 align-center pb-2-4"> <div class="max-w-600 remote-video-embed play-button__wrapper youtube" data-vid-id="M9mJMrzU7Fs" data-vid-title="How can people move toward recovery and achieve long-term recovery?" data-vid-src="youtube"> <img src="https://img.youtube.com/vi/M9mJMrzU7Fs/sddefault.jpg" alt="How can people move toward recovery and achieve long-term recovery?" async class="play-video"> <button class="play-button"></button> </div> <a href="/media/6984" class="text-button"><i class="fas fa-arrow-alt-circle-right"></i>View Transcript</a> </div> </article> <p>If your doctor prescribes an opioid, how can you be sure to use it safely?
