Drug Deaths Have Devastating Impact on Loved Ones

COUNTRY IN CONSTANT MOURNING –

Feb. 21, 2024 – 125 million American adults know at least one person who died by overdose. For many, it was a devastating loss.  40% of Americans know someone who died of a drug overdose, and about one-third of them say it upended their lives. In reviewing a national representative survey of American adults, researchers noted that the lifetime exposure to an overdose death is more common among women than men.

It also is more frequent among married participants than unmarried counterparts, U.S.-born survey respondents than immigrants and people living in urban settings as opposed to those in rural areas.
