Quotes from the news wire:
People might be surprised that although overdose was the most common cause of death, it's far from the only cause of death that people using opioids outside a prescription experience at excessive rates, smoking-related illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases are common. Trauma is another major factor. People are exposed to car accidents, assaults and other causes of injuries at greater than usual rates, and suicide is also much more common than in the broader population.

Another surprise is that we didn't see any evidence that deaths due to AIDS are reducing over time in this population. In the other population groups living with HIV, deaths due to AIDS are decreasing due to better treatments, and better access to treatments among marginalized populations, people who inject drugs are the only group where we don't see this.

To me the most important message to take from this study is that we need to think beyond the drug. People using opioids are people first and foremost, and have complex health and social needs, making sure people have access to essential medicines to treat HIV and hepatitis C ; encouraging smoking cessation through access to nicotine replacement therapies ; and ensuring access to nutritious food and safe shelter would all go towards reducing the death toll in this population.
