Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) is a multi-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to fund overdose surveillance and prevention programs in 67 jurisdictions across the U.S. and Mariana Islands.
Overdose surveillance is conducted by the Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County (DOH-Palm Beach), while overdose prevention is mostly carried out through our partnerships in the community.
The goal of our innovative overdose surveillance program is to increase the foundational knowledge of the overdose and substance use epidemic in Palm Beach County to better inform and impact our community partners. This collective action of the community, along with the local data to guide decision making, can put overdose data to action and drive real, sustainable change in the overdose epidemic.
If you or someone you know is showing signs of overdose, call 911 immediately, and administer naloxone:
- Slow, shallow breathing or not breathing
- Unresponsiveness or loss of consciousness
- Choking, gurgling, or gasping sounds
- Convulsions or seizures
- Pale or blue skin, fingernails, lips
- Chest pain.
The Florida Overdose Data to Action (FL-OD2A) program is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
