dc.description.abstractDrawing on data from the National Vital Statistics System (NVSS), this study investigates the impact of Ban the Box (BTB) laws on drug-related mortality. Two years after adoption, BTB laws are associated with more than a 35 percent increase in drug-related mortality among Black and Hispanic men. The main mechanism driving this increase appears to be diminished labor opportunities. Consistent with the results of previous studies, I find evidence that BTB adoption reduces wages, the probability of employment, and the probability of full-time employment among Black and Hispanic men. This is the first study to provide evidence that BTB laws have negative spillover effects on drug-related fatalities.en
