were among persons who were male (61.8%), white (89.8%), and aged 45–54 years (30.1%) or 35–44 years (24.1%).</span><span style="font-size:10.5px; line-height:0; vertical-align:baseline; color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">¶¶</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px"> PMRs
from drug overdose were significantly above 1.00 for the following six occupation groups: 1) construction (1.25); 2) extraction (1.16); 3) food preparation and serving (1.11); 4) health care practitioners and technical (1.16); 5) health care support (1.18);

<div><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Lato,"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px">Because the PMRs for all opioid types within the construction occupation group were elevated, a subanalysis further examined opioid-related deaths
in this group. The analysis identified 7,402 drug overdose deaths among persons aged ≥18 years within the construction occupation group. The majority of decedents were male (96.7%), white (92.6%), and aged 45–54 years (30.4%) or 35–44 years (26.9%).</span></div>
