Description:The Public Health and Safety Team (PHAST) toolkit is a resource developed to help local jurisdictions reduce drug overdose deaths by increasing collaboration and coordination among all sectors, with a particular focus on public health and public safety agencies. While PHAST principles can be applied to states as well, the purpose of focusing on local jurisdictions is to capitalize on near real-time data, which is typically initially collected at the local level.
Financial support for this toolkit was provided by the CDC Foundation with a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies. The toolkit was developed by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through an iterative pilot process. The CDC Foundation piloted an initial version of the toolkit in one jurisdiction and version 2.0 in two jurisdictions. The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) piloted the PHAST Toolkit version 2.0 in seven jurisdictions through a cooperative agreement (#OT18-1802) with CDC. Findings from the pilots contributed to this toolkit.
