Zusammenfassung

Heroinbezogene Überdosierungen machen den Hauptanteil aller Todesfälle durch illegale Substanzen aus. Hierzulande existieren jedoch kaum empirische Studien zu den Risikofaktoren. Wir berichten den internationalen Forschungsstand auf Basis eines narrativen Reviews.

Abstract

Heroin-related overdoses account for the majority of all deaths from illicit substances. Nevertheless, there are hardly any empirical studies on the risk factors in this country. We report the international state of research based on a narrative review.
