The nation's opioid crisis was declared a "public health emergency" last week by President Donald Trump, though the state of Oklahoma has been working on ways to reduce deaths by opioids and drug abuse in its state for several years now. According to the Tulsa World, "the state was first to establish a prescription monitoring database and was the first to have real-time reporting of prescriptions as they are filled."

State legislators are currently considering new proposals for fighting the opioid crisis in Oklahoma, and as every Cowboys and Sooners fan tunes in for Bedlam on Saturday, there will be an effort to bring awareness to this issue with helmet stickers.
