Abstract

The opioid epidemic has increased adult mortality, disrupted families, and changed labor supply—all factors that are independently associated with poverty and food insecurity. We explore the relationship between the opioid crisis and food insecurity at the state level, first by examining the relationship of drug-related mortalities to food insecurity, and then by exploiting cross-state variations in OxyContin misuse prior to reformulation of the drug to investigate whether food insecurity increased as individuals with opioid use disorder transitioned from prescription to street drugs such as heroin. Results provide further evidence of the presence and size of the social consequences of the opioid crises and the negative consequences associated with drug reformulation for food security.

粮食不安全和阿片类药物危机

阿片类药物的流行增加了成年人的死亡率，扰乱了家庭，改变了劳动力供应——所有这些因素都与贫困和粮食不安全独立相关。我们在州一级探讨了阿片类药物危机与粮食不安全之间的关系，首先通过研究与毒品有关的死亡与粮食不安的关系，然后，在重新配制药物之前，利用奥施康定滥用的跨州差异，调查随着阿片类药物使用障碍患者从处方药过渡到海洛因等街头药物，粮食不安全感是否增加。研究结果进一步证明了阿片类药物危机的社会后果的存在和规模，以及为粮食安全重新配方药物带来的负面后果。
