Why More Teens Are Overdosing On Drugs

The CDC says 100,000 Americans died from drug overdose from 2020 to 2021. 

A study in The Lancet projects 1.2 million more could die of overdose by the end of this decade.  

That rate of death would blow past the worst of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. 

And researchers discovered drug overdose rates were up in every age group.  

But they’re rising fastest among some of America's youngest adults.
