Olfson M, Wall MM, Blanco C. | jamanetwork.com | 2020-04-14
In Reply Dr Nestadt raises 3 concerns regarding our analysis of trends in the intent of overdose deaths involving opioids. His first concern is that suicides may have been misclassified.

Our findings, which were based on the National Vital Statistics System, revealed that in 2017, 4.0% of overdose deaths involving opioids were certified as suicides, 5.4% were certified as undetermined intent, and 90.6% were unintentional.
