- Abstract:
- Deaths from synthetic opioids continue to rise sharply and suicides are growing at the fastest pace in years. More than 150,000 Americans died from alcohol- and drug-induced causes and suicide in 2017--more than twice as many as in 1999--according to a new analysis by Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and Well Being Trust (WBT) of mortality data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
