Nevada Overdose Data to Action (OD2A): February 2026 Data Updates
The Nevada Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) team has released its February updates, including new surveillance reports, office hours, and an upcoming data training opportunity. OD2A is a CDC-funded initiative that supports state and local partners in using timely, high-quality data to inform overdose prevention and response strategies. In Nevada, the OD2A team collects, analyzes, and disseminates actionable data—such as emergency department visits, fatal and non-fatal overdoses, and related surveillance indicators—to help communities identify trends, guide resource allocation, and strengthen coordinated response efforts across the state.
