This study will evaluate and refine the Suspected Potential Overdose Tracker (SPOT), that uses data routinely collected during death investigations to identify accidental drug overdose as the cause and manner of death in near real-time. Near real-time data on overdose deaths will allow for data-driven decision making, the identification of gaps in public health and public safety overdose response preparedness, and opportunities to evaluate overdose prevention interventions, programs, and policies.
