This report from the CDC analyzes provisional data for nearly half of the states in the United States from the first half of 2019. Preliminary results show that nearly a third of overdose deaths involved opioids and stimulants, 80% of overdose deaths involved opioids (mostly fentanyl), and three out of five overdose deaths had a documented potential opportunity to deliver overdose prevention services.
