Details of Drug Induced Deaths - 2003



Use the links at the end of each line to view more detailed data. The "Demographics" link will display the gender, race, age-group, state of occurence, and circumstance for each death attributed to the given underlying cause, as well as the codes entered in the "entity" and "record" axis for each death. Similarly, the links under "Drugs Listed" will display the codes from the entity and record axis for each death as well as the type of drug associated with each specific code listed for the given axis. In addition, each death is weighted against a scale of drug "types" for each of the drugs included in the record axis to allow a better estimation of which deaths actually involve the use of illicit substances.
