SC Drug Overdose Data Products
The South Carolina Department of Public Health participates in both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Overdose Data to Action States initiative as well as the Governor’s Opioid Emergency Response Team. Both initiatives work with internal and external partners across the state to develop and implement overdose surveillance and prevention activities to combat the growing epidemic of opioid deaths, addiction, and abuse. This webpage showcases the various data products DPH has created to highlight this work.
