Résumé :
The U.S. opioid crisis has resulted in the deaths of several hundred thousand people since the early 2000s. It is therefore a major public health crisis. It started on the legal market with massive prescriptions of oxycodone and then developed on the black market with fentanyloids. Who is affected? How can this epidemic be stopped? Could it develop in Europe? What is its significance? These questions are addressed in the article.
