Recent spread of heroin use in the United States

L.G. Hunt

American Journal of Public Health, 1974, vol. 64, issue S1, 16-23

Abstract: New heroin use peaked in major U.S. cities around 1968, leading to a theory of a simultaneous national 'epidemic'. Analysis of treatment data does not support this theory. Instead, peak use is shown to have shifted from larger to smaller cities and is still occurring in places under 400,000 population.
