The sources supporting certain portions of this section are outdated. Some of the information comes from 2014. There has also been a significant amount of research done recently on the disproportionate impact that the opioid epidemic has on Black and Native American Communities. I believe that it is worth making a few edited to this section and also adding some more recent sources that I have compiled from various academic sources.

This note responds to /info/en/?search=Opioid_epidemic_in_the_United_States
I write widely as a subject matter expert on US public health policy for regulation of prescription opioid analgesics, and of clinicians who employ them in managing severe pain among their patients. I have 27 years experience as a volunteer patient advocate and medical literature analyst, having authored or co-authored over 200 papers, articles, and interviews in this subject area. I sit on editorial boards of two journals and elements of my work have appeared in both peer-reviewed journals and mass media.
From this background, I offer three resources that directly contradict the misinformation now incorporated on the Wikipedia page addressing the opioid "epidemic" in the United States:
This summary can be read in five minutes. It appears in America's most widely read healthcare newsletter.
Second: https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/4860/99193547580
Resources for Clinicians In Pain Medicine: Correcting Medical Mythologies On Prescription of Opioid Analgesics
This paper in turn offers 81 references chosen to assist clinicians to defend themselves from grossly inappropriate charges in the currently dominant D.E.A. witch hunt against doctors and their patients in pain.
Third: https://esmed.org/MRA/mra/article/view/4726/99193547448
Doctors Diagnosing Addiction: Are the Blind Leading the Blind?
The second and third papers above appear in the Archives of Medicine of the European Society of Medical Doctors.
