In this study, the trend of mortality rate from opioid abuse in different regions of the world from 1990 to 2019 was investigated based on socio-demographic index at three levels (1. low/low middle, 2. middle, 3. high/high middle) worldwide, using data from the Global Burden of Disease. Results in general, at the low, low middle, middle and high middle socio-demographic index levels during these 30 years have seen a downward trend in mortality rates, although countries with low socio-demographic indicators have experienced a slight increase. In countries with high socio-demographic level, there is a significant upward trend in the rate from opioid abuse between the years. During these 30 years, the average annual changes (APC) of countries with high/high middle social-demographic index levels of about 4 per 100,000 people and in countries with low/ low middle and middle levels of this index were estimated to be -0.5 and -2.5 per 100,000, respectively. In this study, Joinpoint Regression Analysis was used.
