Summary:  View help for Summary National provisional drug overdose deaths by month and 2013 NCHS Urban–Rural Classification Scheme for Counties. Drug overdose deaths are identified using underlying cause-of-death codes from the Tenth Revision of ICD (ICD–10): X40–X44 (unintentional), X60–X64 (suicide), X85 (homicide), and Y10–Y14 (undetermined). Deaths are based on the county of residence in the United States. Death counts provided are for “12-month ending periods,” defined as the number of deaths occurring in the 12-month period ending in the month indicated. Estimates for 2020 are based on provisional data. Estimates for 2018 and 2019 are based on final data.
