The State of Ohio has launched new dashboards to better track and report data on overdose deaths and other substance-use related measures for all 88 Ohio counties. (Integrated Behavioral Health Dashboard)
These statewide dashboards were adopted and expanded from dashboards created through the National Institutes of Health-funded HEALing Communities Study. Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine initially developed community-tailored, data-driven dashboards that included opioid overdose deaths and other opioid use disorder-related measures for 18 counties in Ohio. (2017-2021 Allen County totals)
Using the public health data in these dashboards, communities partnered with researchers to determine which evidence-based interventions to implement to reduce overdoses and opioid misuse. Based on the success of these dashboards in the initial 18 counties in the study, the State of Ohio with RecoveryOhio has now implemented them statewide.
