    Originally published: The Lancet on May 2022 by Jessica Hernandez, Julianne Meisner, Kevin Bardosh and Peter Rabinowitz (more by The Lancet) (Posted May 14, 2022)

    Land is and means different things to different people.

    We read with interest the study by Rao and colleagues on opioid policy effectiveness, which extends their previous modeling efforts to predict opioid-related overdose, life-years, and QALYs. This work presents a useful framework from which to investigate policy effectiveness.
