Chapter 55 Legislative Report: An Assessment of Fatal and Nonfatal Opioid Overdoses in Massachusetts (2011 – 2015)

This report was generated through a legislative mandate by linking multiple data sets in Massachusetts. The aim was to better understand the opioid problem and those at most risk.

The prevalence of opioid use disorder, as well as nonfatal and fatal overdoses, are estimated and at-risk populations are identified. The results of this report are able to inform policy and stimulate research.
