OD2A: LOCAL is designed to:
- Provide resources to improve and create prevention activities that are informed by local data and people’s direct experience
- Improve the surveillance of drug overdoses
The program supports local health departments in using data to drive actions that reduce overdose morbidity and mortality. The primary focus is on opioids and/or stimulants.
