“There’s ways to get around some of the access barriers,” she says. When asked what improving accessibility looks like, Kariisa says it involves several things like lowering costs of transportation so individuals seeking treatment can afford to get to their appointments, offering telehealth appointments so people do not have to travel long distances to get to their provider, and offering structural support like housing and childcare assistance. ‘We know that just because services available does not mean it’s accessible,” she said. And, many of these services are based in more densely populated areas, where drug use and overdose death rates are more likely. MBABAZI KARIISA, HEALTH SCIENTISTįor starters, Kariisa says a lot of these services are not distributed equally across the country. I want to stress that these drug overdoses are preventable. Meaning, the more services available to people struggling with substance use, the higher the overdose death rates - a surprising find, but Karissa says multiple factors may play a role in this. There’s just a lot of issues in the world to talk about.“We found that generally as there was more, sort of, availability for treating substance use disorders or mental health disorders, there was also higher overdose death rates,” Kariisa says.

Higgins’ music career took off after he gained support from freestyling on his high school’s radio show, according to a 2018 Tribune profile. Higgins has also been open on social media, media interviews and in his music about his struggles with drug use. The rapper’s girlfriend, asked by police at the scene if he had any medical issues or had ingested any drugs, replied that he takes Percocet, a painkiller, and “has a drug problem,” the sources said. Meanwhile, the examination into Higgins’ death included toxicology screens to determine what, if any, drugs, were in his system.
A spokesman for the department said investigators were still working Tuesday to determine who the drugs belonged to.
