FIGURE 1—
Monthly Overdose Deaths: United States, January 2014–December 2022 Note. One trend line is shown per year, indicated by color. The legend shows the color corresponding to each year, as well as the annual total number of deaths for that year. All values from the year 2022 are provisional and may be revised to a minor degree in subsequently released final values. Drug overdose deaths were defined using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (Geneva, Switzerland: World Health Organization; 1992) codes for underlying cause of death, including unintentional, suicide, homicide, or undetermined intent (X40–44, X60–64, X85, or Y10–14, respectively). All data can be accessed publicly at wonder.cdc.gov. This figure highlights rising counts from year to year, as well as a sharp spike in deaths during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
