The Nevada Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) team has released August updates, including new monthly surveillance reports and upcoming office hours for partners interested in overdose data.
What is Overdose Data to Action (OD2A)?
Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (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—including emergency department visits, fatal and non-fatal overdoses, and other surveillance indicators—to help communities identify trends, guide resource allocation, and strengthen coordinated response efforts across the state.
Monthly Non-Fatal Overdose ED Visit (DOSE) Reports
Updated monthly reports highlighting trends in non-fatal emergency department (ED) overdose visits (DOSE reports) through July 2026 are now available.
In general, counts are lower in most regions compared to prior years. These reports provide regional insight and can support local planning, outreach, and response efforts. Community partners and stakeholders are encouraged to review the data for use in program planning and decision-making.
August OD2A Office Hours
The OD2A team will host their monthly office hours on Friday, August 21sy from 10:00-11:00 AM. These sessions are informal and have no set agenda. Participants are welcome to drop in with overdose data–related questions or requests for one-on-one technical assistance. If you are interested in attending, please register at the link below.
Nevada Opioid and Overdose Data Training
If you are interested in viewing any the three data trainings from the Nevada Opioid and Overdose Data Training Series, they are now available to watch asynchronously here. The trainings cover opioid and overdose data sources in Nevada, using Nevada data dashboards, and using national data dashboards. The next training, which covers strategies for turning data into action, will be added within the next month or so.
