Monthly Updates Temporary Hold‎‎

Monthly updates to the dashboard for nonfatal overdose syndromic surveillance data are temporarily on hold as we transition to the Overdose Data to Action in States cooperative agreement. Following the August 2023 dashboard update, monthly updates will not resume until June 2024. If you have any questions, please email DOSE@cdc.gov.

The nonfatal drug overdose data on this dashboard come from CDC's Drug Overdose Surveillance and Epidemiology (DOSE) system, which captures electronic health record information in syndromic surveillance systems. This dashboard represents the most up-to-date data that the CDC's DOSE system has available and is updated shortly after new data are made available each month. Currently, 42 states and the District of Columbia share syndromic surveillance data with DOSE, and states that do not share these data are labeled “data not available” or “unfunded state.”
