Abstract
Drug overdose rates have increased in several countries over the last few decades. A number of recent policy changes have increased the risk environment for fatal drug overdose in Mexico. Studies of return migration from the US have found increased drug use and disorder among people within transnational social networks. This dissertation is an ecological analysis of temporal trends and geographic variation in fatal overdose in Mexican cities and tests the effect of geographic and social proximities to the United States on fatal drug overdose rates in Mexican cities.
