L’objectif
This study identified the types of publicly available data used to surveil state-level drug overdoses and characterized these efforts based on their timeliness, drug involvement, and specification of nonfatal outcomes.
Constatations/points à retenir
Nearly all states reported overdose data from EDs, two-thirds published first responder data, and less than one-third tracked community responses. These findings indicate that not all states comprehensively report nonfatal overdoses and current estimates may be undercounted given that not all people who experience an overdose connect with medical services or community programs.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
A manual review of published reports and surveillance dashboards on local responses to suspected drug overdoses from all US state and district government websites was performed in July through August 2022. Two analysts independently reviewed each website and together adjudicated any differences.
