The Michigan Overdose Data to Action team at MDHHS has created a data dashboard that is available to the public at michigan.gov/opioids, under the Data tab. Highlights include published reports, resources for individuals and providers, and different data pages relevant to substance use disorder and overdose. Each data page has filters, where the user can select subcategories like county or PIHP region.
Data on the following topics are included:
1. Current overdose trends
2. Overdose by demographic groups
3. Harm reduction
4. Substance use disorder treatment
5. Opioid prescribing
The “Current Trends” and “Demographic” pages include the most up-to-date data available on fatal and non-fatal overdoses in Michigan. All may be viewed by PIHP region. The “Harm Reduction” and “Treatment” pages have been especially designed with programs in mind. Users can view syringe service program and naloxone distribution efforts, treatment access indicators, and more. Opioid prescribing information comes from the MAPS (Michigan Automated Prescription System) system and is available in user-friendly maps and graphs.
