Intersectional Racial and Sex Disparities in Unintentional Overdose Mortality

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

In this cross-sectional study of overdose deaths, disparities in overdose mortality were evident, with Black men and Black women experiencing a pronounced and increasing burden of mortality compared with their White counterparts. Addressing these disparities will require a multipronged approach targeting the social, physical, economic, and policy risk environments.
