This commentary discusses best practices for responding to fentanyl-related overdose deaths in adolescents and young adults, and it outlines the current state of knowledge about them. Various types of approaches to fentanyl-related overdoses in this age group may need to be developed based on the different risk factors that are emerging from the existing data. We describe the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) behavioral health services research priorities connected with fentanyl-related overdoses in youth. We highlight a key target for intervention and discuss research opportunities related to early intervention with youth with identifiable risk factors. NIDA's research agenda is a means of assisting communities that experience fentanyl-related overdoses by providing scientific information that can be translated into clear recommendations for public action.
本评论讨论了应对青少年和青年中与芬太尼相关的过量用药死亡的最佳做法,并概述了关于这些死亡的现有知识状况。基于现有数据中出现的不同风险因素,可能需要针对该年龄组中与芬太尼相关的过量用药制定各种类型的方法。我们描述了美国国立药物滥用研究所(NIDA)与青少年中与芬太尼相关的过量用药相关的行为健康服务研究重点。我们强调了一个关键的干预目标,并讨论了与对有可识别风险因素的青少年进行早期干预相关的研究机会。NIDA的研究议程是通过提供可转化为明确公共行动建议的科学信息,来协助经历与芬太尼相关的过量用药的社区的一种方式。
