1. Dashboards: Topics in Design, Evaluation and Maintenance for Effective Insights of Drug Overdose Surveillance (Linked in navigation panel)
2. Designing Drug Overdose Surveillance Dashboards: Workbook (Linked in navigation panel)
3. Guided Video Tutorials (see below)

This suite of resources will walk participants through common considerations when developing an overdose surveillance dashboard including topics related to data, data preparation, wireframing, and examples of dashboards. This lesson features a workbook that complements the guidance found in Dashboards: Topics in Design, Evaluation and Maintenance for Effective Insights of Drug Overdose Surveillance. It provides participants with instructions to find data, process the data, and display the data using a dashboard visualization in Tableau. The guidance is reinforced with five (5) short, guided videos

By the end of the lesson, participants will be able to:

1. Discern data preparation elements commonly experienced in dashboard development.
2. Understand common data sources for overdose data dashboards.
3. List common dashboard development tools and examples.
4. Understand common data considerations when preparing data for dashboards.
5. Complete a wireframe of their dashboard concept.
6. Create a dashboard using Tableau.
