The Data
Youth in Oregon Are Being Disproportionately Impacted
Oregon is among the states most impacted by youth overdose deaths, highlighting a growing crisis that affects young people and families in our communities. These alarming outcomes are closely linked to systemic inequities and limited access to resources. To combat this, harm prevention education and overdose response training are essential, ensuring that youth empowerment initiatives can thrive and community-based support becomes more crucial than ever.
