In recent years, life expectancy in the US has dropped, and deaths of despair have been a significant contributor. Drug overdoses and suicides have increased in tandem with the opioid crisis, and the outcome is shorter lives. In this second of four episodes on the current state of the crisis, we’ll talk about these tragic deaths and what we might do about them.
This updated series on the opioid crisis is supported by the National Institute of Healthcare Management.
