Conclusion
摘要
Opioids have taken a devastating toll on America’s children and families. What began in the late 1990s as a crisis primarily affecting adults has evolved into a multigenerational tragedy that now claims the lives of individuals across the lifespan, from infants to older adults. The statistics are sobering: more than 600,000 adults and 15,000 children have died from opioid poisonings in the United States since the epidemic began. Behind every statistic is a family that is forever changed by a tragedy.
