We sought to describe and compare characteristics and circumstances of opioid toxicity deaths across ethno-racial groups.
Constatations/points à retenir
Black people and Asian people generally died younger than white people, and there was greater male predominance in deaths among Asian people, Latin American people and black people relative to white people. Cocaine contributed to more deaths among black people and Asian people compared with white people. Racialised people had a lower prevalence of opioid agonist treatment in the 5 years preceding death.
