How Bad is Substance Use Disorder in Kansas?

We shared the following 2020 alcohol-related death stats:

  • 489 deaths (up 256.9% from 2000)
  • 16.8 deaths per 100,000 people (up 229.4% from 2000)
  • 2020 state population: 2,913,805 (up 8.4% from 2000)

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration, 29.5 million people in the United States were classified as having an alcohol use disorder in the past year, and Kansas was the third-highest state with adults with alcohol use disorder in 2020.

However, the 2023 Kansas Communities That Care survey shows that fewer Kansas teens are drinking alcohol, with less than one in 10 Kansas students surveyed saying they had drank alcohol in the past 30 days, and 73% saying they had never drank more than a few sips of alcohol.

The same survey also shows that Kansas teenagers are smoking at historically low rates. While marijuana use rates among Kansas teens have been harder to budge.
