High-income North America had the greatest regional burden, with the United States having the highest burden nationally. From 1990 to 2019, age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), age-standardized prevalence rate, age-standardized mortality rate, and age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rate (ASDR) showed upward trends, with average annual percentage change of 0.62, 0.81, 1.55, and 1.01, respectively. Despite the burden of OUD was higher in males than in females, the increment in ASIR was greater in females than in males after 2014. Nationally, OUD burden showed increasing trends in ASIR, age-standardized prevalence rate, and ASDR across 150+ countries, with the United States experiencing the greatest increase in age-standardized mortality rate and ASDR.

While some intervention content focused on SRH knowledge and attitudes, the majority of studies had sexual risk behaviors in combination with sexually transmitted infections, substance use, or partner violence as their focus.
