Overdose Data to Action: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL)

Abstract

In the fall of 2023, the Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD) was awarded the federal Overdose Data to Action: Limiting Overdose through Collaborative Actions in Localities (OD2A: LOCAL) grant. This 5-year initiative by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports local jurisdictions in addressing the overdose crisis through surveillance and evidence-based prevention and harm reduction strategies, with the overarching goal to reduce drug overdoses and health inequities. To achieve this goal, MCPHD funds and collaborates with 16 community organizations (subawardees).
