In The News: Is the opioid epidemic coming to Mexico? The Spanish language version of Medscape, the U.K.’s Daily Mail, MedicalXpress, Science Daily, Earth.com, and six other outlets reported on research led by Dr. David Goodman-Meza suggesting that national and international factors could lead to a jump in opioid use and addiction in Mexico. Some of these factors may have their origins in the United States, the researchers said. Goodman-Meza, clinical instructor in the UCLA Division of Infectious Diseases, was quoted. Links at:
