"Ashtabula has seen a rise in... #DeathsOfDespair — drug overdoses, alcoholism & suicides... But... those types of deaths are far outnumbered by #deaths caused by #cardiovascular disease, #diabetes, smoking-related #cancers and other #health issues... Between 2015 & 2019, nearly five times as many Ashtabula residents in their prime died of chronic medical conditions as died of overdoses, suicide and all other external causes combined"

Rising deaths from suicide, and drug and alcohol abuse for both Black and white Americans are overwhelmingly driven by increases in drug-related deaths since the late 1990s. Deaths related to alcohol abuse and suicide among both White and black Americans changed during the Great Recession, despite some racial differences across age groups.

"The most startling aspect of all this is the extent to which these astonishing gaps are not COVID-driven, but rather a product of an epidemic of drug overdose deaths, gun violence, suicide, and alcohol-abuse related maladies, i.e., what Anne Case and Angus Deaton identified as “deaths of despair” a decade ago."

Populations in counties w a prescription drug-related opioid epidemic tend to be small, remote, older, mostly white, former farm/factory areas in decline since 1990s. By contrast, heroin and opioid syndemic counties tend to be more urban, connected to interstates, ethnically diverse, and in general more economically secure. County data provided.
