What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to drug use. |
| Why this is important: Drug abuse and its related problems are among society's most pervasive health and social concerns. Causes of drug-induced deaths include dependent and non-dependent use of drugs (both legal and illegal use) and also poisoning from medically prescribed drugs. Addicted persons frequently engage in self-destructive and criminal behavior, which can result in injury or death. In addition, recreational drug-use can lead to unintentional overdose and death. The Healthy People 2020 national health target is to reduce the drug-induced death rate to 11.3 deaths per 100,000 population. |
| Technical Note: The distribution is based on data from 57 California counties. |
