Ny forskning visar att en stor andel av de som dör av överdoser haft minimal kontakt med vården under sitt sista levnadsår. Studien understryker behovet av att hitta nya metoder för att nå ut med insatser till människor som riskerar att dö av överdos. – Vi visste att gruppen fanns, men inte att den var så stor. Nästan hälften av alla som dör av överdos tillhör denna grupp, säger Björn Johnson, en
