Data About the Overdose Epidemic

About the Palm Beach County OD2A Data

To create an innovative understanding of substance use disorder and overdose in Palm Beach County, multiple independent data sources are used. OD2A overdose morbidity and mortality data are collected through partnerships with local hospitals, emergency medical services providers, and the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s Office. Differences in terminology, case definitions, and inclusion/exclusion criteria may occur across data sources. Therefore, comparability across all data products is limited and should be interpreted with caution.

Description of the Dashboard

The Overdose Surveillance Dashboard is an innovative tool designed to provide critical insights into emergency room overdose data. This resource empowers public health officials, community organizations, and policymakers with actionable information to respond more effectively to the ongoing overdose crisis.

The dashboard aggregates and visualizes data on overdose cases reported by emergency departments across all hospitals in Palm Beach County.
