broadly what you are seeing is allegheny county plotted against jurisdictions of baltimore and philadelphia. we have a lower overdose rate than those two jurisdictions but we have seen a sharp increase since 2014 in terms of the fatal overdose rate. for black individuals specifically, we're seeing a rise in fatal overdoses, when we dig into the data for that group in particular, what we tend to see is this overlap between opioid use and stimulate use. this idea that things like fentanyl are infiltrating the supply of cocaine or methamphetamines. and this is become particularly toxic and dangerous to folks using those drugs. despite the problem and the massive amount of investments that have been put into expanding access to treatment, the take-up of gold standard medication for opioid use disorder remains a huge challenge. there are three major medications that are approved for opioid use disorder. on this figure, i am showing the most commonly used buprenor phine. this is the share of individuals in allegheny county with opioid use disorder who ever received buprenorphine in that year. thi
