| description | Background and Objectives
The purpose of this study is to assess trends in opioid‐involved overdose mortality among US Veterans.
Methods
Age‐adjusted drug overdose mortality rates, overall and by opioid subtype, were assessed from National Death Index data for US Veterans; statistical significance of trends was assessed for 2010 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016.
Results
Veteran age‐adjusted overdose mortality rates increased 23.7% from 2010 to 2015 (19.7‐24.4 of 100 000) and a further 20.4% through 2016 (29.3 of 100 000). Opioid involvement increased from 51.3% in 2010 to 62.1% in 2016, as opioid overdose rates increased from 10.9 to 19.5 of 100 000. Overdose mortality varied substantially by opioid subtype and demographics.
Conclusions and scientific significance
This report provides the first‐ever description of trends and characteristics of overdose mortality and opioid‐involved deaths among US Veterans of military service for the period 2010 to 2016. With the exception of female Veterans and Veterans in Western States, it has been found that trends in Veteran overdose mortality paralleled rising rates of drug overdose observed in the United States more broadly. Published 2020. This article is a U.S. Government work and is in the public domain in the USA. (Am J Addict 2020;00:00–00) |
