The Opioid Crisis in Population Perspective
The opioid crisis has taken an extreme toll on American society. While dependence and addiction to substances has individual, biological, and psychological factors, there are also societal factors at play. Using a population perspective and a sociological paradigm, we start to see that rates of overdose and addiction vary widely across geographical and social boundaries. This shows us that there are aspects of our society’s underlying conditions and culture that are contributing to the opioid crisis.
