What drives opioid use in different communities? Bob Davis dives deep into this question in this episode of 'Addiction Medicine Unpacked'. Drawing from the extensive 'All of Us Research Program', Bob examines how sociodemographic factors influence opioid use, misuse, and disorders. With data from over 214,000 participants, the findings reveal intriguing patterns. For instance, men are more likely to have used opioids at some point in their lives but are less likely to misuse prescription opioids currently.
The episode also uncovers how race, ethnicity, and immigration status play a role in these trends. Foreign-born individuals, for example, show lower rates of opioid use and related disorders compared to their US-born counterparts. But that's not all. Bob also sheds light on the growing issue of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and the changing face of adolescent opioid use disorder in emergency departments.
The episode doesn't shy away from the grim reality of the fentanyl xylosine syndemic sweeping across the United States or the alarming rise in unintentional cannabis ingestion among children. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone keen on understanding the complex landscape of addiction medicine. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a student, or someone touched by addiction, you'll find valuable information that could change how you view and approach this pressing issue.
