Drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. with nearly 92,000 lives lost in 2020. The overdose crisis which escalated sharply (32%) during the first year of the pandemic does not appear to be letting up. For the first time, overdose deaths exceeded 100,000 in 2021, nearing 108,000 – increasing another 15% … or 47% over the past two years.
Rising Rates of Overdose
It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) that the safe and effective management of opioid-related overdoses in schools must be incorporated into the school emergency preparedness and response plans.
