Proportions of OOD in relation to overdose deaths increased between 2011 and 2020, with a precipitous increase between 2019 and 2020 while the proportion of AOOD remained relatively stable over the period. Alcohol remains a contributing factor in approximately 1 in 5 OODs in Minnesota. These results support the need for accessible, evidence-based prevention and treatment programs to prevent drug overdose.
