Analysis of Substance Use Overdose
This webinar overviews the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program (ODMAP). The primary goal of ODMAP is to serve as a valuable tool in combating the opioid epidemic and to help participants explore how they can incorporate this program into their strategies.
The first section presents an overview of the opioid overdose crisis in the United States, followed by an introduction to ODMAP. The webinar continues with a detailed discussion of how ODMAP’s various functions can be used to address specific research questions, offering insights into the spatial and statistical trends of opioid overdoses over time. It includes an example from Wayne County and Detroit’s 9th Precinct to illustrate these trends.
