<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We can all work together.  I
certainly am not trying to mandate that all collections must be inventoried. 
In fact, in the presentations I provide, I advocate that there need to be
several models.  If you have a police dept that is willing to take everything
collected and incinerate it all, simply weighing the collections is great for
an outcome measure.  This is a viable model for programs that have limited
sources and from a poison control and abuse prevention perspective, this is
just as effective as any inventoried program.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Our events are conducted legally
with law enforcement participation.  We do collect non-identifiable patient
information through a survey (i.e. why are you disposing of these meds? Change in
dose, change of drug, death of patient, etc.; What would you have done with
these if this event had not occurred?)  However, to be able to do this, we did
go through our Institutional Review Board.  The purpose of the IRB is to assure
the protection of the safety, rights, and welfare of people.  This is not in
violation of privacy laws.  Other specific details could be collected with the
use of consent forms that would also require approval through an Institutional
Review Board.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We are trying to get unwanted
meds out of households and properly disposed of while also researching why the
meds are leftover, so we can begin to approach the root cause.  Yes, this is
rudimentary at this point, but we must start somewhere.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>What have we learned?  We’ve
only had one event thus far, but what appears to be evident is that many over-the-counter
products do not need to be marketed in quantities greater than 10.  Nebulizer
solutions do not always need to be provided in boxes of 100.  More than half of
the participants would have simply kept (at home) the meds that they turned in if
the event had not been available.  Although the kitty litter/coffee grounds
method from household disposal is advocated, many people still believe this is an
environmentally poor practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I certainly did not mean to
imply that what you are saying is wrong.  This forum is simply for the sharing
of information and both of our perspectives are helpful.  I have gained much
valuable information from the list and it has facilitated many networking
opportunities for which I am appreciative.  <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I had no luck with having our epidemiologist help with a
sampling protocol.&nbsp; He’s already being pulled in many different
directions.&nbsp; I did want to mention that our next event (3/27) will likely
be the last one in which we conduct a full inventory.&nbsp; We will be
collating the items collected by participant (i.e. these 20 items all came from
car #1), which will be a little more work this time around.&nbsp; I believe
this will allow us to validate sampling techniques that we could use for future
events.&nbsp; For instance, we could pull out the data from every X<sup>th</sup>
participant, summarize it, and extrapolate it to the total number of
participants and then compare that to the full inventory.&nbsp; I’m sure
there’s some statistical method to do that.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></p>
