Drug usage plays a big role in America’s death rate. Editorial Board (2017), from NY time’s article, acknowledges “Public health officials have called the current opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history, killing more than 33,000 people in 2015”(p.1). This statistic shows how serious the drug epidemic is in America and how many deaths has resulted from it in the previous year. Similarly, Woodruff (2016) illustrates how from 2013 having “192” drug related deaths has increased to “342” deaths in 2015 (p.1). Woodruff illustrates how drug associated deaths alone has nearly doubled over the course of 2 years.

Here are some annotations of individual sentences:
The steady ideas of drug outbreaks are shown in the Unites States.
This is not analytical and I’m not sure what you mean when you say “steady ideas” what is so steady about ideas?
Editorial Board (2017), from NY time’s article, acknowledges “Public health officials have called the current opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history, killing more than 33,000 people in 2015.”
Almost– you need to have the para. or p. citation after the quote.–> 2015″ (p. 1).
This statistic shows how drug related deaths have increased over the years.
Not really- this quote only shows that 33,000 people died. Also, why is this so significant?
Similarly, Woodruff (2016) illustrates how from 2013 having “192” drug related deaths has increased to “342” deaths in 2015.
Again, don’t forget about the p. citation!
Showing how drug associated deaths alone has nearly doubled over the course of 2 years.
This is a fragment.
Overall, you want to work on the explanation of each of your outside references.
