Background
Opioid overdose remains a public health crisis in diverse communities. Between 2019 and 2020, there was an almost 40% increase in drug fatalities primarily due to opioid analogues of both stimulants and opioids. Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD; e.g., buprenorphine) are effective, evidence-based treatments that can be delivered in office-based primary care settings. We investigated disparities in the proportion of national prescribers who have obtained a waiver issued to prescribe MOUD by demographic characteristics.

Alcohol consumption contributes to 3 million deaths each year globally as well as to the disabilities and poor health of millions of people.
Alcohol use among adolescents can be harmful to neurodevelopment and has been linked to an increased risk of suicide ideation, depression, and risky sexual behaviour.
In Mexico, alcohol use has steadily increased among youth over the last decade, prompting an investigation into the link between perceived availability of alcohol, heavy episodic drinking, and alcohol-related harms among 12-17-year-olds.
