Abstract
Drug overdose mortality has increased substantially over the past 20 years in the United States.1 People experiencing homelessness have been disproportionately affected by this public health crisis, with drug overdose emerging as a leading cause of death at rates up to 30-fold higher than in the US general population.2-4 Despite these circumstances, temporal patterns in drug overdose mortality and the types of drugs implicated in overdose deaths remain understudied in this population.Keywords
