Nebraska的过量死亡证明常常省略芬太尼,妨碍对不断变化的毒品危机作出反应。 Nebraska's overdose death certificates often omit fentanyl, hindering response to the evolving drug crisis.

2017年20时20分, John Anderson的弟弟Max死于吸毒过量, 但官方死亡证明并未列出芬太尼(fentanyl), John Anderson’s brother Max died of a drug overdose in 2017 at 20, but the official death certificate did not list fentanyl—despite evidence it was involved—instead citing general causes. 这种缺乏具体性的现象在内布拉斯加州很常见,那里2014年至2020年约有四分之一的过量死亡者缺乏一种已查明的药物。 This lack of specificity is common in Nebraska, where about a quarter of overdose deaths from 2014 to 2020 lacked a identified drug. 公共卫生和执法官员说,不完整的数据阻碍了追踪芬太尼带甲基安非他明或大麻等危险物质的努力,延误了有效应对和问责制。 Public health and law enforcement officials say incomplete data hampers efforts to track dangerous substances like fentanyl-laced methamphetamine or marijuana, delaying effective responses and accountability. 专家们强调,必须进行彻底的毒理学测试,以了解不断演变的危机并防止今后死亡。 Experts stress the need for thorough toxicology testing to understand the evolving crisis and prevent future deaths.
