A very provocative study by Goodwin et al have found that the chronic use of prescription opioid use was correlated with support for Republication candidate in 2016 Presidential elections. In case someone is concerned if the observed effect is due to the confounding by age (elderly people voting Republican but also having high need for opiates due to chronic diseases), authors did adjust for age and a broad category of other factors. I will invite everyone to read this study oneself.
