2018 Mortality Statistics: Life Expectancy, Drug Overdose, Maternal Mortality Released

Mortality statistics for 2018 were released on January 30, 2020, highlighting life expectancy trends, drug overdose statistics, and the first maternal mortality rate in over a decade. A comprehensive communications strategy was executed to disseminate the data, including a new website, visual abstracts, stakeholder notifications, webinars, and briefings to key entities like HHS and Congress. The increase in life expectancy was partly attributed to a decrease in unintentional injuries, including drug overdose deaths. The release strategy garnered significant engagement and understanding from the public, with over 1,000 attendees at briefings, 750 at webinars, and widespread usage of visual abstracts and media coverage.
