Opioid overdose deaths and Florida's crackdown on pill mills.
The researchers examined the effect on opioid overdose mortality of Florida state laws and law enforcement operations targeting "pill mills." They found that Florida's actions were associated with an estimated 1029 lives saved from prescription opioid overdose over a 34-month period, and estimated reductions in deaths grew over the intervention period.
