Project Overview
Data2Action Oregon is part of and supported by the NIH HEAL Initiative® as part of the HEAL Data2Action Program (R61 DA059163).
Our goal is to increase the availability of user-friendly, relevant data to inform local, daily decisions and policies that aim to connect individuals to a continuum of substance use services and prevent overdoses.
Phase 1 of this projected started in the Fall 2023. Phase 2 of this project will start in Fall 2024 and will continue until 2028.
Our Timeline
This project will incorporate the perspectives, data, and suggestions of representatives from public health, behavioral health, first responders, health payers, and advocacy groups. This will happen through group discussions, focus groups, surveys, and written feedback.
Our Collaborations
Our Co-Design Process
A co-design process will be used to co-create data products that make prioritized data available to local decision makers.
We will study the public health and service system impacts of our data products with a rigorous trial. We plan to learn more about data-driven decision making, system collaborations, and what data points are most valuable to local decision makers.
Our Evaluation and Dissemination Process
This work is in collaboration with numerous community partners and our research colleagues at University of California-San Diego. Thank you!
