Description:Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) is a cooperative agreement administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Division of Overdose Prevention. OD2A began in September 2019 and focuses on the complex and changing nature of the drug overdose epidemic and highlights the need for an interdisciplinary, comprehensive, and cohesive public health approach. Funds awarded as part of this agreement support state, territorial, county, and city health departments (totaling 66 jurisdictions) in obtaining high quality, more comprehensive, and timelier data on overdose morbidity and mortality and using those data to inform prevention and response efforts.
One of the main purposes of OD2A funding is to support recipients as they implement strategies to advance the development and expansion of existing PDMPs and increase their utilization as public health surveillance and clinical decision-making tools. This document was created to highlight the value of Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) as public health tools and to support OD2A recipients, PDMP administrators, state and local policymakers, and public safety officials in utilizing PDMP data to inform public health interventions and clinical decision-making.
This document was developed in March 2021 by CDC, ICF, and the Network for Public Health Law with support under contract #GS00Q140ADU119 order #75D30119F05503, funded by CDC.
