Monthly Provisional Drug Overdose Death Counts (thru January 2022)

Model-based provisional estimates of the weekly numbers of drug overdose, suicide, and transportation-related deaths using "nowcasting" methods to account for the normal lag between the occurrence and reporting of these deaths. Estimates are provided by jurisdiction and outcome of interest (drug overdose, suicide, or transportation-related deaths) from 2016 to October 2021. Estimates for 2016-2020 are based on final data.
