Opioid Mapping Initiative

Opioid Mapping Initiative Local governments working together to address the epidemic with data and maps Mapping the Opioid Epidemic New 2019 Report Here: https://www.newamerica.org/public-interest-technology/reports/mapping-opioid-epidemic/ For all the national media attention it has attracted, the opioid crisis remains a local problem, demanding that local governments try innovative strategies to fit their communities’ unique needs. Many do this through the Opioid Mapping Initiative (OMI), a coalition of 17 local governments, universities, and nonprofits who meet monthly to swap insights, share best practices, and test their theories of change. This report documents the efforts of the Opioid Mapping Initiative through its first year. In the report you will find case studies are included from a variety of the participating local governments, as well as maps showing a national perspective on various aspects of the opioid epidemic. The Opioid Mapping Initiative is a community of practice that includes leading local government health and law enforcement agencies, technologists, and researchers committed to engaging their communities in partnerships to improve awareness of the opioid epidemic and make better decisions with government resources. The purpose of the initiative and this site is to provide a list of applications and open data sets that local health and law enforcement agencies have identified as important to their communities. It also provides critical and timely resources, including: technical guidance and best practices, success stories; how-to articles; and links to related efforts. Agencies that lead the way in mapping the epidemic can be instrumental in helping others learn as additional governments embrace technology fighting the epidemic.
