Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the differences between neighborhoods with a lot of overdoses and those without in Rhode Island from 2016 to 2020.
- They found that neighborhoods with more Black and Latino/a residents, high unemployment, and crowded living conditions had higher overdose rates.
- The study suggests that neighborhoods struggling with poverty and housing issues are at greater risk for overdoses, and having more social services nearby could help prevent these deaths.
