Intertwined Epidemics: National Demographic Trends in Hospitalizations for Heroin- and Opioid-Related Overdoses, 1993-2009
UMB Dataset- Authors
- George J. UnickDaniel RosenblumSarah G. MarsDaniel Ciccarone
- Description
This study investigated demographic trends over time in the use of prescription opioids versus heroin among addicted individuals. ICD9 codes associated with hospitalizations for overdoses from either prescription opioids (POD) or heroin (HOD) were harvested from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the years 1993 through 2009, inclusive. Population data were taken from U.S. Census statistics. Demographic specific rates of POD and HOD hospital admissions were analyzed to determine if fluctuations in the dynamics of one form of opiate, such as supply-based reduction, are correlated with changes in the rates of overdoses of the other. Dataset includes statistical and demographic data.

National Survey on Drug Use and Health
- Alternate Title(s)
- NSDUH
- Description
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) provides national and state-level data on the use of tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs (including non-medical use of prescription drugs) and mental health in the United States. This annual survey involves interviews with approximately 70,000 randomly selected individuals. The survey cohort consists of U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 years and older and includes residents in group quarters such as college dormitories, group homes, shelters, rooming houses, and military bases. Interviews are conducted in participants’ homes facilitated via the use of Computer Assisted Interviewing (CAI). NSDUH is sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency of the U.S. Public Health Service in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
