We used Joinpoint regression to examine trends in suicide rates and proportion of suicides involving opioids. Results. The annual age-adjusted death rate from suicide with opioid poisoning as a contributing cause of death increased from 0.3 per 100 000 in 1999 to 0.7 per 100 000 in 2009 (APC = 8.1%; P
