Associations Among Social Determinants of Health and Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose: An Umbrella Review

Opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose are shaped by more than individual factors. The conditions in which people live, work and grow up play a large part in who is most at risk. This CME activity is based on an umbrella review, which pulls together the findings of many systematic reviews. It looks at which social determinants of health, such as economic stability, housing, education, social support and contact with the justice system, are most strongly linked to OUD and overdose. The activity helps clinicians spot higher-risk patients, look beyond clinical factors, and target prevention and support more effectively.
