L’objectif
Our objective is to understand temporal trends in opioid-related crime incidents and the comparability with the dynamic patterns in health-related outcomes.
Constatations/points à retenir
Opioid-related crime incident rates were found to be significantly and positively associated with rates of opioid-related emergency department visits, inpatient hospitalization, and overdose mortality.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
We used incident-level crime data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) during 2005–2018. We identified all incidents involving opioids, which were grouped by opioid type (illicit and prescription opioids), and by drug-related criminal activity (possession and distribution).
