Earlier this week, the CDC released updated provisional drug overdose death counts based on data from the National Vital Statistics System. The dashboards present updated 12-month ending provisional numbers of drug overdose deaths by drug or drug class and the 12-month ending provisional counts and percentage changes of drug overdose deaths. View the dashboards here.
UPDATE 2/15/2023: The Monthly Provisional Drug Overdose Death Counts report provides estimates for the United States and jurisdictions within 4 months after the date of death. In recent months, certain states have experienced longer than usual delays in submitting drug overdose deaths. Recent trends may underestimate the death count in affected states and this potential impact should be considered when comparing results for states to previous months. Please see the Technical Notes of the dashboard for more information on adjustments for delayed reporting.
