Youth opioid overdoses spiked during the pandemic, according to a study analyzing nationwide emergency medicine encounters recently published in JAMA. • More than 100,000 Americans die each year from drug overdoses, according to the Centers from Disease Control and Prevention. • Deaths from drug overdoses are rising faster among adolescents, largely due to fentanyl, said Jamie Lim, MD, a pediatric emergency medicine fellow at Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, who was first author of the study. • ----------------------------------------- • Visit the Feinberg website: https://www.feinberg.northwestern.edu/ • SUBSCRIBE: http://spr.ly/60073dxlv • TWITTER (X): http://spr.ly/60003dxmj • INSTAGRAM: http://spr.ly/60083dxWi • FACEBOOK: http://spr.ly/60063dxW0 • LINKEDIN: http://spr.ly/60063dxqG • About Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois: • Our mission is to impact the practice of medicine through discovery and education to improve human health. #medicalschool
