CSTE OD Spike Alert Advisory Group

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.

NH Collaborative Opoid Misuse SatScan Cluster Spike Alert Project

NH is interested in a collaborative project using SatScan and related tools, Emergency Department hospital data, and Response Partners to fill a current “gap of information”, regarding opioid misuse.  We have created dashboards and reports indicating volume and rates of the opioid misuse condition, but don’t know if response agencies use the data for response activities (education, intervention, etc.).  In this project, NH DPHS will identify response partners and work to develop spike alert thresholds linked to specific response activities.  We plan to incorporate work from the CSTE Overdose Spike Alert Advisory Group, which includes a Landscape Analysis (identifying response partners and their needs) and an online Took Kit to create the overdose spike alerts meeting their needs.  This project will include Advisory group tools, Data Science Team Training Application (DSTT) Program Training, NH Response Partner input, NH hospital ED data, and technical expertise from a forming National Syndromic Surveillance Program Community of Practice SatScan work group to develop overdose spike alerts that meet Response partner’s linked activities.
