In @JAMAPsych, Helena Hansen and I show that "Deaths of Despair" (from overdose, suicide, alcohol) among Black Americans overtook the rate for White Americans in 2022.
This further debunks the narrative that these deaths uniquely harm White communities.

Harm reduction is organic.
It is not a set of services.
It is not static.
It is re/defined by people who are harmed. We must listen.
