States Track Suspected Nonfatal Drug Overdoses

JAMA Network

About The Study: The findings of this study indicate that not all states comprehensively report nonfatal drug overdoses and current estimates may be undercounted given that not all people who experience an overdose connect with medical services or community programs.

Authors: Christian Johnson, M.P.H., of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy in Washington, D.C., is the corresponding author.
