The Relationship Between State Fiscal Capacity and Opioid Settlement Expenditures
Introduction The distribution of funds from national opioid settlements provides a critical opportunity for states to address the ongoing overdose crisis in the US. However, it remains unclear whether these funds have been spent by states with significant fiscal needs, in addition to higher opioid-related needs.Methods We used data from KFF Health News to examine per capita opioid settlement spending across states, categorizing them into tertiles…
Trends and Correlates of Past-Month Cannabis, Alcohol, and Tobacco Tri-Use and Intensive Tri-Use
Background: Little is known about the prevalence or intensity of concurrent cannabis, alcohol, and tobacco use. To address this gap, we examined the patterns and correlates of past-month tri-use and intensive tri-use among U.S. adults. Methods: We merged 2016–2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data and calculated the trends, patterns, and intensity of past-month concurrent cannabis, alcohol, and tobacco use among U.S. adults (18+ yea…
Proportion of fentanyl reports in illicit drug seizures and nonfatal overdose emergency department visits in the United States, 2021–2024
BACKGROUND: The increasing presence of fentanyl in the illicit drug supply has been associated with rising overdose mortality in the United States, but the extent to which it is associated with nonfatal overdose morbidity remains unknown. We examined the association between the proportion of fentanyl reports in illicit drug seizures and state-level rates of nonfatal overdose emergency department (ED) visits. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal e…
Ghost gun recovery and firearm deaths in California, 2014–2023
BACKGROUND: We investigated whether ghost gun recovery rates are significantly associated with firearm mortality rates in the following year across California's 58 counties from 2014 to 2023. METHODS: We obtained yearly county-level data on ghost guns recovered in California from The Trace's Gun Violence Data Hub. County-level firearm death counts (total, suicide and homicide) were pulled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Rest…
Specialized Mental Health Crisis Response Activities Within US Law Enforcement Agencies
Fewer than half of law enforcement agencies have responses for mental health crises. Further research is needed to identify barriers and facilitators to adopting specialized responses, particularly among rural and under-resourced agencies
Beyond social determinants
A large body of research has been dedicated to understanding the relationship between social determinants of health (SDOH) and overdose death across counties in the United States (U.S). However, this literature has so far focused on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of counties and has largely overlooked the ways in which county fiscal constraints may be associated with responses to the opioid epidemic. To address this gap, this longi…
Utilizing Publicly Available Community Data to Address Social Determinants of Health
To compile a compendium of data sources representing different areas of social determinants of health (SDOH) in New York City. We conducted a PubMed search of the peer-reviewed and gray literature using the terms "social determinants of health" and "New York City," with the Boolean operator "AND." We then conducted a search of the "gray literature," defined as sources outside of standard bibliographic databases, using similar terms. We extracted …
