Mahoning County Public Health and the Mahoning County Mental Health and Recovery Board have announced a new Opioid Epidemic Outreach Dashboard.

The dashboard was created to bring together information related to the opioid epidemic in Mahoning County in one spot. 

It includes overdose fatality data from 2007-present broken down by age, gender, race, overdoses by month, and primary substance type. The data can also be viewed by year, or in total.

The dashboard also provides information about Emergency Department visits for overdoses, Quick Response Team data, infectious disease rates for Hepatitis C and HIV, as well as Naxolone saves and distribution.

Besides the data related to overdoses in Mahoning County, the dashboard also provides Mahoning County resources and education for prevention, treatment and recovery, and harm reduction.

The dashboard is designed to assist local organizations with the latest data to inform prevention efforts, and also help people who have substance use disorder or know others with substance abuse disorder find help in one place.
