摘要

在美国,绝望、发病和情绪困扰的死亡人数继续上升,主要由没有大学学历的人承担,其中大多数是美国成年人,对他们中的许多人来说,经济和社会已经无法提供帮助。与此同时,美国的全因死亡率因教育而异,这是其他富裕国家所没有的。我们回顾了在没有BA的人群中,疼痛、绝望和自杀的患病率不断上升。疼痛和绝望创造了对阿片类药物的基线需求,但成瘾的升级来自制药及其政治推动者。我们审视“绝望政治”,即受教育程度较低的人是如何被民主党抛弃和抛弃的。虽然健康的州曾经在总统选举中投票给共和党,但现在不太健康的州却投票给了共和党。我们回顾了新冠肺炎期间的死亡人数,发现2020年的死亡率复制了有大学学历和没有大学学历的人之间现有的相对死亡率差异。

The Great Divide: Education, Despair, and Death.
Deaths of despair, morbidity and emotional distress continue to rise in the US, largely borne by those without a college degree, the majority of American adults, for many of whom the economy and society are no longer delivering. Concurrently, all-cause mortality in the US is diverging by education in a way not seen in other rich countries. We review the rising prevalence of pain, despair, and suicide among those without a BA. Pain and despair created a baseline demand for opioids, but the escalation of addiction came from pharma and its political enablers. We examine the "politics of despair," how less-educated people have abandoned and been abandoned by the Democratic Party. While healthier states once voted Republican in presidential elections, now the less-healthy states do. We review deaths during COVID, finding mortality in 2020 replicated existing relative mortality differences between those with and without college degrees.
