This is the first publication of mortality data from the new Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN). Virtually every feature of DAWN, except its name, changed in 2003. In this publication, we refer to “new DAWN” to emphasize these differences.
The purpose of this publication is to profile the drug-related deaths reported to DAWN by participating medical examiners and coroners (ME/Cs) for 2003. Each metropolitan area or State is presented separately, with participating and non-participating jurisdictions clearly identified. No system-wide summaries are provided, either in the text or in tables. Our intent is to discourage aggregation of data across areas, because the mortality component of DAWN is not national in scope nor can it be used to derive national estimates.
DAWN mortality data for 2003 are not comparable to those for any prior years. In fact, no comparisons of data from the “old” and “new” DAWN are possible. The key features of the new design are summarized below. A detailed discussion of the major design changes and a review of the content of the metropolitan-area and State profiles are provided in the chapter that follows these Highlights.
