Prescription opioid-related overdose deaths increased sharply during 1999-2010 in the United States parallel with opioid prescribing. CDC assessed changes national-level and county-level prescribing 2006-2015.CDC analyzed retail prescription data from QuintilesIMS to assess 2006 2015, including rates, amounts, dosages, durations prescribed. examined patterns 2010 2015.The amount of opioids prescribed peaked at 782 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per capita then decreased 640 MME 2015....
Background: In response to adverse outcomes from prescription opioids, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released Guideline Prescribing Opioids Chronic Pain in March 2016. Objective: To test hypothesis that CDC guideline release corresponded declines specific opioid prescribing practices.

The CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids Chronic Pain recommends considering prescribing naloxone when factors that increase risk overdose are present (e.g., history of or substance use disorder, opioid dosages ≥50 morphine milligram equivalents per day [high-dose], and concurrent benzodiazepines). In light the high numbers drug deaths involving opioids, 36% which in 2017 involved prescription improving access to is a public health priority. examined trends characteristics dispensing from...

In 2017, prescription opioids were involved in 36% of opioid-involved overdose deaths the United States (1). Prescription can be obtained by or through diversion (the channeling regulated drugs from legal to illegal sources) (2). Among new heroin users, 66%-83% reported that their opioid use began with misuse a (3). Misuse is generally defined as taken for purpose other than directed prescribing physician, greater amounts, more often, longer duration prescribed Exposure lessened ensuring...
<h3>Importance</h3> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released the "Guideline For Prescribing Opioids Chronic Pain" (hereafter,<i>CDC guideline</i>) in 2016, but its association with prescribing practices patients who are opioid naive is unknown. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate changes initial rates, duration, dosage to after release of CDC guideline. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cohort study used 6 sequential cohorts preguideline trends among were naive,...
Importance Federal emergency authorities were invoked during the COVID-19 pandemic to expand clinical telehealth for opioid use disorder (OUD). Objective To examine association of receipt services and medications OUD (MOUD) with fatal drug overdoses before pandemic. Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study used exploratory longitudinal data from 2 cohorts (prepandemic cohort: September 1, 2018, February 29, 2020; 2019, 28, 2021) Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries aged 18 years or...
Importance Parents’ overdose death can have a profound short- and long-term impact on their children, yet little is known about the number of children who lost parent to drug in US.

Design, Setting, Participants This was cross-sectional study US community-dwelling persons using data National Survey Drug Use Health (2010-2014 2015-2019) Vital Statistics System (2011-2021). Data were analyzed January June...
Abstract Deaths of parents and grandparent caregivers threaten child well-being owing to losses care, financial support, safety family stability, but are relatively unrecognized as a public health crisis. Here we used cause-specific vital statistics death registrations in modeling approach estimate the full magnitude orphanhood incidence prevalence among US children aged 0–17 years between 2000 2021 by cause, age, race ethnicity, sex deceased parent state, also accounted for caregiver loss...
<h3>Importance</h3> Although opioids can be effective medications in certain situations, they are associated with harms, including opioid use disorder and overdose. Studies have revealed unexplained prescribing variation mismatched patient-reported pain for many indications. <h3>Objective</h3> To summarize frequency, dosages, durations, stratified across numerous painful medical <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 2017 US administrative claims...
Importance Given the high number of opioid overdose deaths in US and complex epidemiology use disorder (OUD), systems models can serve as a tool to identify opportunities for public health interventions. Objective To estimate projected 3-year association between interventions overdose-related outcomes among persons with OUD. Design, Setting, Participants This decision analytical model used simulation estimated population aged 12 years older OUD that was developed analyzed January 2019...

Approximately 90% of Americans aged 2 years or older consume too much sodium. The consumption sodium increases blood pressure, which the risk for stroke, coronary heart disease, failure, and renal disease. Population-based strategies to reduce salt intake are cost-effective, can and, according Institute Medicine, needed at national, state, community levels.
In Brief Practice-based evidence arises from programs implemented in real-world settings. Program success may be judged on the basis of experience; however, formal evaluation studies methodological rigor can provide a high level credible to inform public health practice. Such lengthy and expensive. Furthermore, even well-designed not reach conclusive findings, for example, when program lacks full implementation, data systems do have capacity collect data, or implementation has attained...
