L’objectif
We examined measures of drug enforcement as predictors of next-year fatal overdose rates in the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (W/B HIDTA).
Constatations/points à retenir
Adjusting for covariates, both the total number of drug seizures and amount of cocaine seized (in dosage units per capita) positively predicted next-year opioid- and fentanyl-involved fatal overdose rates. Disruption to drug-trafficking organizations and money-laundering operations did not significantly predict next-year fatal overdose rates for any outcome.
