BACKGROUND: Over the last 21 years, drug overdose deaths have increased nationwide, particularly in Rhode Island (RI). The goal of this work is to identify populations that are disproportionately impacted by accidental drug overdose deaths to guide future intervention efforts. Methods: We obtained data on accidental and undetermined drug overdose deaths from the RI State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS) database from 2016 to 2021. We compared basic demographic factors stratified by decedent race and ethnicity. Chi Square and Fisher's exact tests were used to determine differences in characteristics across racial groups.
FINDINGS: Across all race and ethnic groups, cocaine-involved (64.5%) fatal overdoses were higher among Black non-Hispanics. White, non-Hispanics (31.4%) were more likely to receive treatment for substance use disorder (SUD) when compared to minority groups.
CONCLUSION: To help address the gaps in treatment for SUD among minority groups, culturally responsive intervention efforts should prioritize connecting minority groups to treatment.
