New Report Sheds Light On Opioid Crisis In The US

Description

A new study published Wednesday in Public Health Reports says the death toll of the US opioid crisis has been seriously lowballed. According to Gizmodo, since 1999, as many as 70,000 opioid-related deaths across US have never been reported. Overdose deaths overall steadily increased during the study period, from nearly 17,000 deaths in 1999 to over 50,000 in 2015. A statement from the study's authors said this week, "States may be greatly underestimating the effect of opioid-related overdose deaths because of incomplete cause-of-death reporting, indicating that the current opioid overdose epidemic may be worse than it appear."
