Bor Quoted in NBC News Article

Jacob Bor , core faculty at the Human Capital Initiative at the Global Development Policy Center, was recently quoted in an article for NBC News, entitled “Where ‘despair deaths’ were higher, voters chose Trump.” The quoted section is as follows: 

Jacob Bor of the Boston University School of Public Health found that in counties where life expectancy fell, voters were more likely to vote Republican.

And several studies have also shown that death rates are on the increase across the country. Rates of suicide, alcohol-related deaths and drug overdoses are all up, so much so that they’ve lowered average life expectancy for Americans.
