Abstract

Indiana state government partnered with researchers to develop a real-time dashboard that brings together multiple data sources to provide state and county-level measures around overdose touchpoints, which are settings that people engaged with prior to fatal overdose. Exploration of the dashboard reveals multiple opportunities for overdose prevention and highlights its use as a tool to monitor strategies in reducing overdose deaths.
