DC has seen 200 homicides year to date, why?

Crime is up everywhere. What does that have to do with federal spending?
 

Differences in Opioid-Related Deaths in the Appalachian Region in 2018-2021 by State and Rural-Urban County Classification​

Monitoring Editor: Alexander Muacevic and John R Adler

Introduction

The rapid increase in opioid-related deaths since the early 2000s is a major US public health concern. This crisis has transitioned from pharmaceuticals to illicit synthetic opioids and street mixtures. This epidemic has significantly impacted the Appalachian region. This study investigated opioid-related death rates among the Appalachian states, focusing on death rates among urban, suburban, and rural counties.

Results

Of the opioid-related deaths between 2018 and 2021, 498 counties were identified in the 13 Appalachian states as having reported at least 10 opioid-related deaths per year. Among these counties, 337 (67.7%) were classified as urban/metropolitan, 138 (27.7%) as suburban, and 23 (4.62%) as rural. Overall, mean opioid-related deaths by populations per 1000 among all counties were 0.24 in 2018, 0.24 in 2019, 0.33 in 2020, and 0.38 in 2021. For urban/metropolitan counties, opioid-related deaths per 1000 gradually increased from 0.23 in 2018 to 0.35 in 2021. For suburban counties, the mean opioid-related deaths per 1000 increased from 0.25 in 2018 to 0.43 in 2021. For rural counties, the mean opioid-related deaths per 1000 increased from 0.43 in 2018 to 0.62 in 2021.

Conclusion

Opioid-related deaths, on average and by population, have risen steadily in the Appalachian region from 2018-2021 across all geographic areas (urban/metropolitan, suburban, rural). Rural counties consistently showed the highest opioid-related deaths per population compared to urban/metropolitan and suburban areas. Addressing social determinants of health such as income level, education level, healthcare access, and community-based interventions is crucial in combating this issue. Community and health system interventions must be implemented to combat the disproportionately high rate of opioid prescribing in the Appalachian region.

Perhaps create your own thread that deals with fentanyl overdoses in the Appalachians.
Hi, hypocritical trumper! You constantly bring up fentanyl overdoses when sane people make threads about our prevalent gun problems.

Turnabout is fair play 👊
 

Synthetic Opioids a Major Driver of Overdose Deaths Across the Country​

Potent synthetic opioids, like fentanyl, which significantly increase the risk of overdose and death have been a critical factor in the recent rise in overdose mortality. Synthetic opioids are more likely to be illicitly manufactured and can be used intentionally or unintentionally — and unknowingly — combined with other drugs.

In 2012, synthetic opioids were involved in 6 percent of 41,502 overdose deaths. That figure quickly climbed to 18 percent of 52,404 deaths in 2015, 51 percent of 70,630 deaths in 2019, and then 66 percent of 106,699 deaths in 2021. Provisional data suggest this will edge even higher for 2022.

The impact of synthetic opioids did not hit all regions of the U.S. at the same time. In 2015, synthetic opioids were involved in at least 25 percent of overdose deaths in 11 states. By 2018, that number had grown to 28 states, with the impact concentrated in the Northeast, Appalachian, and Midwestern regions. Western states were less affected.

I do! when the topic is the incompetent one’s open border crisis.
 
I will not let you deny the fact that more arrests have been made at the border under President Biden than trump.

Facts don't lie.

Unlike some. #derpy

If illegal migrant crossings increase it stands to reason that arrest would increases along with it.

If Biden’s immigration policy is so popular why the uproar in NYC?

What, specifically, is his policy?

Who said they increased? Why is NY upset but California isn't?

Oh, so now it's the open borders are at fault. I knew it had to be one of these. Always with you, it's either "Biden" "Open Borders" or "China" or "the Woke Leftist Marxists." Or some such shit.
