TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Commentary: U.S. mortality, geography, and the anti-social determinants of health JO - Preventive medicine A1 - Edwards, Ryan D. SP - 324 EP - 326 VL - 89 IS - N2 - Drug-related overdoses appear to be a major factor behind an historic pause or even a reversal in the predominant downward trend over time in U.S. mortality rates, a departure that is especially evident among non-Hispanic white females of middle age. The new geography of accidental poisoning deaths and their covariates suggests that we should reassess traditional policies and perspectives in order to combat this threat to public health.
