Timely data helps public health professionals and partners, community members, and researchers tailor their local overdose prevention and response efforts. Access CDC's interactive data dashboards and visualizations, including fatal overdose data, nonfatal overdose data, clinical drug test data, and U.S. dispensing rate maps.
Overview
CDC's Overdose Prevention Data Channel serves as a centralized source for overdose data, bringing together information from multiple surveillance systems in one place. It helps users access and understand overdose trends and find tools and resources to support prevention and response efforts.
CDC's DOSE and SUDORS dashboards provide a comprehensive national view of both fatal and nonfatal overdoses. CDC's Clinical Drug Test Dashboard reports trends in illegal use of fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine using results from clinical urine drug tests. These tools support state, local, tribal, and territorial partners in using timely data to:
- Prioritize and allocate resources effectively.
- Tailor overdose prevention and response efforts to specific community needs.
- Detect emerging drug threats early.
- Inform proactive strategies to educate the public and guide prevention efforts.
CDC also has data resources on dispensing rates for opioids, naloxone, and buprenorphine, as well as a study on medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). These resources help identify gaps in treatment access and inform broader strategies to prevent overdoses and support recovery.
Together, these tools equip public health professionals with the data needed to implement targeted interventions, strengthen data-driven decision-making, and enhance overdose prevention and substance use disorder response efforts.
