Data dashboards are powerful tools that can support community engagement and decision-making by providing public health surveillance and early detection of emerging health threats, as well as facilitating efficient resource allocation. As part of the HEALing Communities Study (HCS), a multi-site research study that tested the impact of an integrated set of evidence-based practices to reduce fatal opioid-related overdose, researchers from four participating research sites (New York, Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Ohio) developed community dashboards to support data-driven decision-making.Thursday |

Join us on May 9 at 2 p.m. ET for a webinar to learn how data dashboards can facilitate evidence-based decision-making by providing insights into effective approaches, gaps in substance use disorder services, and opportunities to address challenges within communities. Presenters will provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the undertakings to develop the HCS dashboards, including the process of accessing, displaying, and explaining data; co-designing dashboards with state and local partners; implementing and using dashboards in the community; and best practices for using and sustaining them. They will also share publicly available tools that communities can use to develop their own dashboards, as well as a set of standardized measures used by HCS for data collection.
