Uphononongo olutsha oluvavanya idatha yokubanjwa kweziyobisi e-Ohio ukusuka ngo-2014 ukuya ku-2019 lufumanise ukuba i-overdose ebulalayo ebandakanya i-methamphetamine okanye i-cocaine, okanye zombini, zisenokuba zibulala ngenxa yokubandakanyeka kwe-fentanyl eyenziwe ngokungekho mthethweni endaweni yokubandakanyeka kwezivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni. .
"Iziphumo zethu zibonisa ukuba ukufa ngokugqithisileyo e-Ohio okubandakanya izivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni - i-cocaine kunye ne-methamphetamine - enyanisweni ayizange iqhutywe kukunyuka kwesabelo semarike yezo zivuseleli," watsho uJon E. Zibbell, Ph.D., isazinzulu esiphezulu kwi-RTI International kunye nombhali okhokelayo wesifundo. "Olu phononongo lubonisa indlela i-fentanyl exhaphake ngayo kubonelelo lwechiza olungekho mthethweni kunye nendlela idatha yecala lonikezelo enokunceda ngayo ukuphelisa eyona nto ibangela ukufa okubandakanyekayo okubangelwa kukudlula kwedosi."
Iqela lophando lisebenzise idatha yokuhluthwa kweziyobisi evavanywe elebhu njengommeli wonikezelo lwechiza olungekho mthethweni kwaye liyithelekise nedatha yokugqithisa ngokweqile ebandakanya izivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni ukufikelela kwizigqibo zayo.
Ngokophononongo, izivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni bezinqabile ukubanjwa zidityaniswe ne-fentanyl. Nangona kunjalo, ukonyuka kokuxhuzula okuqulethe zombini izivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni kunye ne-fentanyl zayanyaniswa kakhulu namazinga okufa okubandakanyekayo okubandakanyeka kwi-overdose, ecebisa ukuba abathengi bezivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni banokuthi bavezwe ngakumbi kwi-fentanyl bengazi.
“Kunzima ukugxininisa ngakumbi umngcipheko okhulayo wokusebenzisa izivuseleli ezingekho mthethweni phakathi kobhubhani we-fentanyl,” wongezelela uZibbell. “Abantu abasebenzisa i-cocaine kunye ne-methamphetamine bakwenza oko belindele ukuba ezi zivuseleli aziqulathanga fentanyl engekho mthethweni, kodwa ngelishwa oko kuya kusanda kulindelo olungekho ngqiqweni. Okubi nakakhulu, abathengi abakhuthazayo bahlala bengabantu abangasebenzisi i-opioids kwaye abanakho ukunyamezela, oku kuthetha ukuba basengozini kakhulu kwi-opioid overdose kwaye mhlawumbi abakulungele ukuphendula kwi-opioid overdose xa isenzeka. "
Uphononongo lukwaxhasa iziphumo zangaphambili zokuba ingxaki yokuvuselela engekho mthethweni ayisiyonto ifanayo kodwa ibandakanya iingxaki ezimbini ezihlukeneyo nezihambayo ezibandakanya zombini i-cocaine kunye ne-methamphetamine. Iziphumo zibonisa ukuba i-cocaine ichaphazela ngokungafaniyo abantu abaNtsundu okanye abantu base-Afrika baseMelika abahlala kwidolophu ezinkulu neziphakathi, ngelixa i-methamphetamine ichaphazela abaMhlophe abahlala kwi-metro ezincinci nakwimimandla yasemaphandleni.
Ukuqonda ukuba ubuhlanga, indawo yendawo kunye nonikezelo olungekho mthethweni ludibana njani lunokunceda ii-arhente zempilo zikarhulumente zijongane namacala omabini engxaki evuselelayo engekho mthethweni kwaye ziphendule ngokufanelekileyo kwiimfuno zempilo zabahlali basezidolophini nabasemaphandleni ngokufanayo, ababhali bophononongo bayaqaphela.
Ababhali baqukumbela ngokucebisa ii-arhente zempilo zoluntu ukuba ziwuphakamise umngcipheko ogqithisileyo okhoyo ngoku obalelwa kwi-cocaine. Baqinisekisa ukuba iprofayile yomngcipheko we-cocaine kufuneka ibekwe kwinqanaba elilinganayo okanye elikhulu xa lithelekiswa ne-methamphetamine ukuze umyalezo wothintelo ulungelelaniswe ngokuchanekileyo ngakumbi nedatha yokusweleka kweziyobisi kwaye iqaqambise impembelelo engalunganga ye-cocaine kwimpilo yoluntu lwasezidolophini ngombala.
