US overdose deaths fell 27% last year, but remain far above EU levels
Cikk tartalma röviden
In 2024, the US recorded a significant decline in drug overdose deaths, with 30,000 fewer fatalities than in 2023, totaling approximately 80,000 deaths. This 27% decrease is attributed to factors like increased availability of naloxone and expanded addiction treatment. However, overdose deaths remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, particularly among individuals aged 18 to 44. Experts emphasize the need for continued efforts in overdose prevention, despite the ongoing challenges posed by the opioid epidemic, which has not affected Europe similarly.
