Women Have Higher Rates of Opioid-related Hospitalizations in Most States

Women have higher rates of opioid-related hospitalizations in most states. Opioid-related hospital stays among women increased 75 percent between 2005 and 2014, a jump that significantly outpaced the 55-percent increase among men. The trend resulted in virtually identical rates nationwide for women and men in 2014—roughly 225 hospital stays per 100,000 population for both men and women. But geographical variations were wide: opioid-related stays were higher for women in nearly three-fourths of U.S. States. States where opioid-related hospitalizations were higher for women include: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. States where opioid-related hospitalizations were higher for men include: California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia. Non-participating states were Alaska, Idaho, Mississippi, Alabama, and New Hampshire.
