Health Care Service Presence, Social Vulnerability, and Opioid Overdose Rate Acceleration: A United States, County-level Analysis, 2020–2022
High SEV was associated with accelerated opioid overdose rates during 2020-2022, particularly in rural areas. The presence of OTPs and primary care services within counties was associated with attenuated acceleration in high-vulnerability areas. This may indicate that policies prioritizing comprehensive health care services in high-SEV communities could address opioid overdose disparities.
