Opioid-Involved Overdose Among Male Afghanistan/Iraq-Era U.S. Military Veterans: A Multidimensional Perspective

Abstract

Findings suggest the need for comprehensive drug safety and overdose education that is sensitive to veterans' physiological, psychological, and sociological conditions. A multidimensional understanding of the distal and proximal overdose risks faced by veterans and other vulnerable groups may help lay a foundation for more inclusive/holistic approaches to overdose prevention and education.
