CSTE has established the Overdose Spike Alert Advisory Group to focus on addressing three key needs and provide corresponding guidance on:
1. What data spikes mean (and what spikes are meaningful)
2. What actions should be taken
3. Variation at state and at local levels.
This activity will principally address analysis and interpretation of surveillance data to identify overdose clusters/spikes, while also accounting for aspects of alert guidance that intersect with epidemiologic investigations, partnerships with key stakeholders, and prevention. Membership in the Advisory Group is intentionally limited to maintain a an effective size for resource development. CSTE will seek input outside of the group from a wide range of stakeholders. The group will develop an online toolkit that will be publicly available by late 2021.
While CSTE staff will monitor this page and activity regularly, anyone with the link can access these resources. Please do not share any proprietary information or upload private documents.
Email Danielle Boyd (dboyd@cste.org) if you have questions about the advisory group or about this basecamp site for the group.
