Abstract

Objectives. To estimate children's exposure to family overdose in the United States. Methods. We used recent demographic kinship modeling advances and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's most recent underlying cause of death estimates to model how many children aged younger than 18 years in 2019 had lost 1 or more parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts or uncles, or cousins to overdose mortality since birth. We calculated the number and proportion of children with such exposures and considered age, cohort, and gender patterning. Results. More than 1.4 million children in the United States, mostly adolescents, experienced a family overdose death, often losing central figures like parents or grandparents. Cohort analyses suggest dramatic increases in these exposures, portending mounting prevalence. Conclusions. Attention to the large population with lives disrupted by overdose deaths should include affected children. The long-arm consequences of the overdose crisis will continue to define the public health landscape for decades. (Am J Public Health.

超过 140 万美国儿童因吸毒过量而失去家人。
目标。估算美国儿童接触家庭用药过量的情况。方法。我们利用最近的人口亲属关系建模进展和美国疾病控制和预防中心最新的基本死因估计数据,对 2019 年有多少 18 岁以下的儿童自出生以来因用药过量死亡而失去了 1 位或 1 位以上的父母、兄弟姐妹、祖父母、姑姑或舅舅或表兄弟姐妹进行了建模。我们计算了有此类暴露的儿童人数和比例,并考虑了年龄、队列和性别模式。结果。美国有 140 多万名儿童(大部分是青少年)经历过家庭用药过量死亡,他们往往失去了父母或祖父母等核心人物。队列分析表明,这些暴露的情况急剧增加,预示着患病率会越来越高。结论关注因吸毒过量死亡而生活受到影响的庞大人群,应将受影响的儿童包括在内。用药过量危机的长臂后果将在数十年内继续影响公共卫生格局。(Am J Public Health.https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307847).
