Opioid misuse has been an increasing concern in the U.S. over the past two decades, and it is particularly prevalent in American Indian and Alaskan Native (AI/AN) communities. Over the 20-year span from 1999-2019, deaths related to opioid overdose increased rapidly among Indigenous populations, multiplying by more than five times due to increased use of heroin, hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, tramadol, and in combination with alcohol and other drugs.
