Age-Adjusted ED Visit Rate due to All Drug Overdose

Measurement Period: 2022
This indicator shows the age-adjusted emergency department visit rate due to all drug overdose per 100,000 residents. This includes non-fatal acute poisonings due to the effects of drugs, regardless of intent (e.g., suicide, unintentional, or undetermined). Visits related to late effects, adverse effects, and chronic poisonings due to the effects of drugs (e.g., damage to organs from long-term drug use), are excluded.

Why is this important?

Drug abuse and its related problems are among society's most pervasive health and social concerns. Causes of drug-induced overdoses 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.
