Using data to drive action to reduce opioid overdoses in Seattle, WA

A project awarded to University of Washington to implement data-driven interventions to reduce opioid overdoses in Seattle, including establishing a stabilization center and supporting recovery through medication and naloxone distribution.

Description

This project aims to use an intensive data to action framework to guide rapid data infrastructure, medical, treatment, and public health improvements to address the increasing opioid overdoses and deaths in Seattle and nationally. The primary outcomes include testing the impact of a stabilization center on decreasing acute care utilization (EMS, ED), morbidity, mortality, incarceration, housing insecurity, and public agency costs.
