Has there been comparison of urban to rural areas with this? Are young people in rural areas dying faster than urban areas?
I found this from 2017: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2017/p1019-rural-overdose-deaths.html https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2017/p1019-rural-overdose...
My sense is that rural areas are harder to change, and probably far more prone to monopolies from service providers. The combination of higher costs of monopoly with higher rates of drug use might lead to more deaths.
Or, in another way, in the US, is being poor in a rural area better/worse/similar to being homeless in an urban one?
- Frost1x 7y agoUnless I'm missing a parent reference you're referring to, the article explicitly mentioned this: >In terms of deaths from suicide, Bernstein writes that there is a huge disparity between urban and rural Americans. The suicide rate amongst urban residents is 11.1 per 100,000 people, as opposed to rural residents’ 20 per 100,000.
- mr_tristan 7y agoI'm just wondering if there's ways to link the timelines of the main article (last 3 years) and the rural vs urban comparison (which was from 2017, but cites data much earlier)
