The National Survey on #DrugUse & #Health is an annual survey of households conducted by the #SubstanceAbuse & #MentalHealth Administration, which is being dissolved in *#Health* Secy #RFKJr's overhaul of the nation's health agencies.

"We survey about 70k people, 12 & older each year," says Jennifer Hoenig, who used to lead the team of scientists in charge of the survey, which is the largest in the country.

So much for giving a shit about #overdose #deaths

They've tracked Americans' #DrugUse for decades. #Trump & #RFKJr fired them

A federal #study on #MentalHealth problems & #SubstanceAbuse across the country that has been running for decades & is used by a wide range of researchers faces an uncertain future after Trump cuts.

#Sackler e #PurduePharma accettano un patteggiamento da 7,4 miliardi di dollari per la #crisi degli #oppioidi.

L’intesa coinvolge 14 #stati #americani, migliaia di #governi #locali, centinaia di #tribùnative e 140mila persone vittime della #dipendenza da #Oxycontin.

La vicenda risale alla fine degli anni Novanta, quando Oxycontin fu pubblicizzato come #farmacoantidolorifico privo di rischi di dipendenza.

Schumer will work to block any effort in the Senate to significantly cut #CDC's budget

A #GOP-led effort would create major cuts eg in programs addressing #guns injuries & #opioid #overdose prevention.

Are they nuts?

Silly question. It's today's Republican Party.

They're COMPLETELY nuts.

Dems must GOTV, defeat any Republican up & down ballot.

If candidates for local office pull that "nonpartisan" BS, find out who the local Dem Committee supports.

#Unemployment has reached the lowest level in >50 yrs. Post-#pandemic #inflation has stopped & gone into reverse. The #StockMarket has soared to record highs. Social indicators too are improving from the #chaos left by #Trump. In each yr of Trump’s presidency—not just pandemic 2020, but the 3 yrs b4 that—the rate of US marriages & childbirths dropped. Under #Biden, marriages & childbirths are rising again. #Overdose #deaths are lessening. The Trump-era #violent-#crime wave is receding at last.

The measure, which needs a majority to pass, is called the Secure the #Border Act. Along w/the #policing provisions, it’d also increase #prison sentences for anyone who sells #fentanyl* that results in an #overdose death, & would make it a #state #crime for #undocumented workers to provide false info to the #EVerify screening system.

Nearly one in three Americans know someone who has died of a drug overdose, according to a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health survey. For 18.9% of respondents, the person who died “was a family member or close friend.” People who knew someone who had died from an overdose were also more likely to see addiction as an “extremely or very important policy issue” regardless of political affiliation. CBS News has more.
