This course content was originally conducted as a virtual learning series for local and territorial recipients of the CDC cooperative agreement Overdose Data to Action (OD2A). Participants met monthly from January 2021-May 2021. During the course, participants were led through four(4) lessons and a capstone experience focusing on evaluation principles. The experience has been converted into an online course to share these robust drug overdose surveillance principles with a larger audience.
This work is supported in part by Cooperative Agreement Number 1 NU38OT0002927-021-00 awarded to the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
