- Abstract:
- The United States is facing a new set of epidemics--more than 1 million Americans have died in the past decade from drug overdoses, alcohol and suicides (2006 to 2015). Life expectancy in the country decreased last year for the first time in two decades--and these three public health crises have been major contributing factors to this shift.
