TFAH’s Pain in the Nation report series tracks levels of alcohol, drug, and suicide deaths nationally and for population groups. The 2024 edition, reporting on 2022 data, found that a decrease in the alcohol-induced mortality rate led to a slightly lower combined rate of all U.S. deaths due to substance misuse and suicide, but the long-term trend of such fatalities is still alarmingly high. The September AFPHS will focus on mental health and substance use among older adults, with key findings and policy recommendations. Equitable approaches to support older adults will also be shared.
Speakers for this training are:
Brandon Reavis, Senior Government Relations Manager, Trust for America’s Health
Molly Warren, Senior Health Policy Research and Analyst, Trust for America’s Health
