[okgis] RE: looking for data on opioid epidemic

["Landgraf, Chad" <chad.landgraf AT okstate.edu>]

Bryce:

 

For data about opioid deaths, I have used CDC’s Wonder Multiple Causes of Death Database (https://wonder.cdc.gov/mcd-icd10.html) with great success. HHS maintains a webpage (https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/about-the-epidemic/) dedicated to the opioid crisis that is full of useful information, including links to county-level prescribing data (https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/maps/rxrate-maps.html).  CMS just updated their Medicare Part D Opioid Prescribing Mapping Tool (https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Statistics-Trends-and-Reports/Medicare-Provider-Charge-Data/OpioidMap.html), it contains county-level data as well. I Hope this helps.

All,

 

Wondering if anyone has a source of data related to the opioid epidemic (prescription rates/death rates/etc) in Oklahoma - at the county level would be wonderful.

 

Thanks,
