The Hill (7/15, Breslin) reported a “study by the Coalition for Applied Modeling for Prevention (CAMP) and funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights the colossal rise in injection drug use…in the United States in recent years.” The study showed that “the most recent data, from 2018, estimated that approximately 4 million Americans injected drugs,” a “five-fold increase from the last approximation, in 2011.” The research also found that “the burden of fatal and nonfatal overdoses among those who inject drugs has…gone up sharply.”
