Think from KERA

The real reason fentanyl is killing fewer Americans


Listen Later

There’s good news: Opioid deaths are down. The caveat: Marginalized communities aren’t seeing the benefits. Maia Szalavitz is a contributing Opinion writer for The New York Times. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss age and race gaps in opioid death statistics, how naloxone is helping to prevent overdoses, and why people of color aren’t seeing the same results as their white peers. Her article is “Not Everyone Is Benefiting From Drops in Overdose Deaths.”
