opioid overdoses

A federal study in Ohio, New York, Massachusetts and Kentucky found overdose interventions only helped reduce deaths in people using opioids and non-cocaine stimulants.

Ohio communities can more easily access data around substance use disorder through a new dashboard. Advocates hope it leads to better treatment.

Ohio neighborhoods with more opioid overdoses also have a higher rate of child abuse, according to a new study from the Ohio State University’s College of Social Work.
