Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>This dataset describes drug poisoning deaths at the U.S. and state level by selected demographic characteristics,
and includes age-adjusted death rates for drug poisoning. Deaths are classified using the International Classification of
Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD 10). Drug-poisoning deaths are defined as having ICD 10 underlying cause-of-death codes X40
X44 (unintentional), X60 X64 (suicide), X85 (homicide), or Y10 Y14 (undetermined intent).</p> <p>Estimates are
based on the National Vital Statistics System multiple cause-of-death mortality files. Age-adjusted death rates (deaths per
100,000 U.S. standard population for 2000) are calculated using the direct method. Populations used for computing death rates
for 2011 2015 are postcensal estimates based on the 2010 U.S. census. Rates for census years are based on populations enumerated
in the corresponding censuses. Rates for noncensus years before 2010 are revised using updated intercensal population estimates
and may differ from rates previously published. Death rates for some states and years may be low due to a high number of unresolved
pending cases or misclassification of ICD 10 codes for unintentional poisoning as R99, Other ill-defined and unspecified causes
of mortality. For example, this issue is known to affect New Jersey in 2009 and West Virginia in 2005 and 2009 but also may
affect other years and other states. Estimates should be interpreted with caution.</p>; abstract: <p>This dataset
