There were 112,024 overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending in May, compared with 109,261 in the 12-month period ending in May 2022, a 2.5% increase. | 报道称,截止今年5月的12个月内,全美共有112024人因服药过量死亡,而截至2022年5月的12个月内为109261人,增幅为2.5%。 |
Dr. Katherine Keyes, a professor of epidemiology at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, noted that the increase is leveling off. | 哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院流行病学教授凯瑟琳·凯斯博士指出,这一增长趋势正在趋于平稳。 |
“We still have an extraordinary number of overdose deaths that is orders of magnitude higher than we’ve seen in previous years,” she said. However, “the increase that we [saw] in 2021 has slowed down.” | 她说:“美国仍然有大量的服药过量死亡病例,比前几年高出几个数量级。但较2021年的增速有所放缓。” |
Overdose deaths spiked 30% between 2019 and 2020 and rose another 15% between 2020 and 2021, according to the CDC. | 美国疾控中心数据显示,2019年至2020年间,药物滥用致死人数激增30%,2020年至2021年间又上升了15%。 |
“There were extraordinary increases in 2020 and 2021 that have started to flatten out in 2022 – now going into 2023. They’re not declining yet,” Keyes said. “But the pace of the increase is certainly slowing. | “2020年和2021年出现了异常增长,但在2022年开始趋于平缓,2023年仍没有下降趋势,但增长速度肯定在放缓。 |
"So that is both good news and indicative of a continuing public health crisis.” | CNN称,这既是一个好消息,也预示着一场持续的公共卫生危机。 |
Keyes highlights that these small accumulation of overdose deaths are still putting 2023 on track to be another devastating year amid the drug epidemic. | 凯斯强调,药物滥用致死人数慢慢积累,2023年或将成为又一个毒品泛滥的灾难性年头。 |
“It’s still slightly higher than previous 12-month periods. So, it certainly still indicates just a devastating impact on population health,” she said. | 她说:“药物滥用致死人数仍然略高于之前的12个月。因此,这无疑表明药物滥用仍然对人口健康存在毁灭性影响。” |
Certain states – particularly in the western United States – have seen steep increases in deaths in comparison with national totals. | 与全美总死亡人数相比,一些州,特别是西部州死亡人数急剧增加。 |
Washington had the highest increase: more than 37% from the year ending May 2022 to the year ending this May, from 2,373 to 3,254. | 华盛顿州增幅最高:从截至2022年5月的一年到截至今年5月的一年,增幅超过37%,从2373增至3254。 |
