Since 2018, drug overdose deaths have risen across the state. 5,210 people died from unintentional drug overdoses in 2021.
CINCINNATI — A first-of-its-kind database launched in Ohio to better track and report data on overdose deaths and other substance-use-related measures.
"The dashboards allow us to use real-time research to focus prevention, treatment and recovery programs across the state in a transparent platform available to the public," RecoveryOhio Director Aimee Shadwick said in a release. Mertz said slow days are hard to come by for her and her staff. Most up-to-date data reports that there were 454 overdose deaths in Hamilton County in 2020 and between 50 and 70 non-fatal overdoses every week, she said.
But Mertz said she hopes the new statewide dashboard will provide the necessary tools, not just to respond but to intervene and prevent.
