RIDOH's Drug Overdose Surveillance Data Hub Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH)'s Drug Overdose Surveillance Data Hub provides several sources of non-fatal and fatal overdose data with a special focus on municipal, county, and statewide trends. This Data Hub is managed by the Substance Use Epidemiology Program. RIDOH’s Overdose Surveillance Data Hub features the following: Biosurveillance Biosurveillance Emergency Department Visits Emergency Department Visits Emergency Medical Service Runs Emergency Medical Service Runs Integrated Surveillance System Naloxone Distribution Overdose Fatalities Overdose Fatalities Prescription Drug Monitoring Program Prescription Drug Monitoring Program The Data Hub adheres to a Small Numbers Reporting Policy to ensure the confidentiality of individual identities. Data are suppressed when counts are fewer than five. The time period of analyses may vary depending on the data source, data availability, and counts. Some data sources are updated more frequently than others. The Data Hub works together with the state’s overdose information dashboard, PreventOverdoseRI.org (PORI), to create a holistic view of how opioids and drug overdose are impacting the state. Visit PORI to find a variety of historical overdose data trends, data stories, interactive visualizations, local resources, educational materials, and campaigns. PORI is an initiative of the Rhode Island Governor's Overdose Prevention and Intervention Task Force, in collaboration with RIDOH, the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals (BHDDH), and Brown University School of Public Health.
