L’objectif

This study aims to assess the association of community social vulnerability and community prescription opioid availability with individual non-fatal or fatal opioid overdose.

Constatations/points à retenir

There was higher hazard for non-fatal overdose in communities with greater OUD per 100 capita. We also found higher non-fatal and fatal hazards for opioid overdose among patients in communities with higher housing type and transportation-related vulnerability compared to the lowest quintile. Conversely, patients were at less risk of opioid overdose when living in communities with greater prevalence of the young or the elderly, the disabled, single parent families or low English proficiency.
