USA. The impact of fentanyl on American Indian and Alaskan Native communities
Within the United States, fentanyl has disproportionately impacted American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) individuals and communities. There is no evidence of genetic predisposition to opioid use disorder. Instead, the AI/AN populations’ vulnerability to fentanyl harms can be traced to historical and contemporary policy failures and ongoing theft of AI/AN resources.
