<P>Burke,</P>
<P>What an excellent Background paper on your project in CA!! I'd like to incorporate some of your findings in our National Directory of Drug Take-Back and Disposal Programs (US). We have been surveying active take-back programs across the country and compile our survey responses in the National Directory. Was there any attempt or thought about identifying the drugs that were collected? I know Dr. Joel Kriesberg of Teleosis has been analyzing a wealth of data in Northern CA. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>We also maintain the National Unused and Expired Medicines Registry to collect data on returned meds. I'd be happy to chat more about this database with you.</P>

<P class=MsoNormal>Many of you may be interested in the background paper we just released today. It evaluates all types of home-generated pharmaceutical collection programs—in terms of efficacy, safety, statewide accessibility, and cost effectiveness—by type in California based on surveys completed in the last few months. We received an 86% response rate from 207 out of 241 known continuous collection sites, 46 of the 53 known events, and 3 of the 3 known pilot mail-back programs in California. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The background paper and attachments are available at the bottom of this page: <A href="http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Actions/PublicNoticeDetail.aspx?id=217&aiid=217">http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Actions/PublicNoticeDetail.aspx?id=217&aiid=217</A><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I should caution that the results in California are not necessarily representative of the results throughout the country because currently only law enforcement programs dispose of home-generated pharmaceutical waste within the state. <o:p></o:p></P>
