Abstract

Our study is the first to provide statistics on opioid use among Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) applicants. We use an innovative machine-learning method to identify opioids in open-ended text fields in SSDI administrative data. We find that more than 30% of applicants between 2007 and 2017 reported using one or more opioids, a rate that is about 50% higher than in the general population. Rates of reported opioid use varied over time, peaking at 32% in 2012. Reported opioid use also varied by age, gender, education, receipt of SSI, and across states. There was a positive and statistically significant association between (a) reported opioid use and SSDI awards and (b) reported opioid use SSDI award and death; these are associations and do not demonstrate a causal relationship.

社会保障残疾保险申请人中阿片类药物的使用情况

我们的研究首次提供了社会保障伤残保险（SSDI）申请人使用阿片类药物的统计数据。我们使用一种创新的机器学习方法，在 SSDI 管理数据的开放式文本字段中识别阿片类药物。我们发现，2007 年至 2017 年间，超过 30% 的申请人报告使用过一种或多种阿片类药物，这一比例比普通人群高出约 50%。报告的阿片类药物使用率随时间而变化，2012 年达到峰值，为 32%。报告的阿片类药物使用情况也因年龄、性别、教育程度、接受 SSI 的情况以及各州而异。(a)报告的阿片类药物使用情况与社会医疗保险计划（SSDI）补助金之间，以及(b)报告的阿片类药物使用情况与社会医疗保险计划（SSDI）补助金和死亡之间，存在统计学意义上的显著正相关关系；这些只是相关关系，并不表明其中存在因果关系。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
