TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Exponential growth of drug overdose poisoning and opportunities for intervention JO - Addiction A1 - Jalal, Hawre A1 - Burke, Donald S. SP - 1200 EP - 1202 VL - 117 IS - 5 N2 - Overdose deaths in the United States (US) have been tracking along a dismayingly predictable exponential growth trajectory for more than four decades [1]. Yet, successes and failures of public health interventions are all too often measured in the short term, as annual swings in overdose deaths, with scant attention paid to this multi-year trajectory. Proper elucidations of the underlying dynamics of the long-term as well as the short-term trends are crucial to inform effective control and prevention policies.
