The aim of the current study is to examine factors related to opioid overdose deaths within the framework of social disorganization theory. We identify county-level factors related to overdose deaths among a series of measures related to economic (unemployment, health insurance coverage, and poverty) and socio-structural (prescribed opioid pills, racial heterogeneity, drug arrest rate, county rurality, and Appalachian location) disadvantage. Using panel data on counties in the United States drawn from five major, federal-level datasets, we perform a series of stepwise mixed-effects models to examine the relationships between economic and social markers of structural disadvantage and opioid-involved overdose deaths between the years 2006 and 2012. The proportion of poverty, unemployment, Appalachia, and pills prescribed are associated with increased opioid overdose deaths over time. A series of interactions illustrate that markers of disadvantage, including opioid prescriptions, often operate in tandem to exacerbate opioid overdose deaths. Based on standardized coefficients, the most predictive factor related to opioid overdose deaths is the volume of opioid pill prescriptions in a county on a year-to-year basis. Overall, this study emphasizes the utility of criminological theory in policy-related work focused on the opioid crisis. Our work also highlights the need for federal agencies to release data already collected on opioid pills to further our understanding of how to combat the opioid crisis.

社区劣势和阿片类药物处方对美国各县服药过量死亡的影响

本研究的目的是在社会解体理论的框架内研究与阿片类药物过量死亡相关的因素。我们在一系列与经济(失业、医疗保险覆盖范围和贫困)和社会结构(处方阿片类药物、种族异质性、毒品逮捕率、县农村和阿巴拉契亚位置)相关的措施中确定了与用药过量死亡相关的县级因素。 ) 坏处。使用从五个主要联邦级数据集中提取的美国各县的面板数据,我们执行了一系列逐步混合效应模型,以研究多年来结构性劣势的经济和社会标志与阿片类药物过量死亡之间的关系2006 年和 2012 年。贫困、失业、阿巴拉契亚、随着时间的推移,处方药与阿片类药物过量死亡的增加有关。一系列相互作用表明,包括阿片类药物处方在内的不利标志往往同时发挥作用,加剧阿片类药物过量死亡。根据标准化系数,与阿片类药物过量死亡相关的最具预测性的因素是一个县每年阿片类药物处方的数量。总体而言,本研究强调犯罪学理论在以阿片类药物危机为重点的政策相关工作中的效用。我们的工作还强调联邦机构需要发布已收集的阿片类药物药片数据,以进一步了解如何应对阿片类药物危机。通常同时作用会加剧阿片类药物过量死亡。根据标准化系数,与阿片类药物过量死亡相关的最具预测性的因素是一个县每年阿片类药物处方的数量。总体而言,本研究强调犯罪学理论在以阿片类药物危机为重点的政策相关工作中的效用。我们的工作还强调联邦机构需要发布已收集的阿片类药物药片数据,以进一步了解如何应对阿片类药物危机。通常同时作用会加剧阿片类药物过量死亡。根据标准化系数,与阿片类药物过量死亡相关的最具预测性的因素是一个县每年阿片类药物处方的数量。总体而言,本研究强调犯罪学理论在以阿片类药物危机为重点的政策相关工作中的效用。我们的工作还强调联邦机构需要发布已收集的阿片类药物药片数据,以进一步了解如何应对阿片类药物危机。本研究强调犯罪学理论在以阿片类药物危机为重点的政策相关工作中的效用。我们的工作还强调联邦机构需要发布已收集的阿片类药物药片数据,以进一步了解如何应对阿片类药物危机。本研究强调犯罪学理论在以阿片类药物危机为重点的政策相关工作中的效用。我们的工作还强调联邦机构需要发布已收集的阿片类药物药片数据,以进一步了解如何应对阿片类药物危机。
