This award funds a project to develop a geospatial model and community-based interventions to prevent opioid overdose deaths among Black Americans by identifying environmental health determinants and creating a replicable intervention model.
Description
The project uses geospatial technology to identify environmental determinants of health underlying opioid overdose death among Black Americans. It aims to develop and evaluate a GIS-enabled index to model risk for overdose death and demonstrate its utility for outreach interventions, ultimately reducing opioid morbidity and mortality among high-risk populations.
