Narrative minireview of the spatial epidemiology of substance use disorder in the United States: Who is at risk and where?

Figure 3 Temporal dynamics of the opioids overdose epidemic in Ohio (2010–2016) in the total population and in the most affected populations. The highest prescription opioid overdose mortality rates were found in the White male population aged 30-39 years, with 125 deaths/100000 persons, followed by Black males of same age, with 57 deaths/100000 persons compared to the 29 deaths/100000 persons for the total population in 2016. Dashed lines illustrated the fitted exponential curve for each growth rate. Plot was created using the software environment R[87].
