USA. Provisional Drug Overdose Death Counts
UPDATE 8/14/2024: The Monthly Provisional Drug Overdose Death Counts report provides estimates for the United States and jurisdictions within 4 months after the date of death. Some states may have longer than usual delays in submitting drug overdose deaths. In particular, North Carolina is experiencing substantial delays in the resolution of pending records by the medical examiner’s office. Recent trends may underestimate the death count in affected states and this potential impact should be considered when comparing results for states to previous months. Please see the Technical Notes of the dashboard for more information on adjustments for delayed reporting. (CDC – National Center for Health Statistics, USA, 14.08.2024)
