Alternate data uses |
“We are always, always, always pushing data driven decision-making with the coalitions and more often than not, the coalitions have a lack of data that they can specify down to a county or even a municipality. And so, having access to something like this...can potentially tap into the [deidentified community] data and be able to use that data to justify a program need or a grant...” (New York). “[W]e have opportunities...from new funding sources that we have never had before. So they’re coming towards us and kind of questioning where our gaps are and where we think that we could grow. So, I do think there’s things on the dashboard that we will probably be utilizing in the future” (Ohio). “I’m doing a study for my dissertation actually on...overdose deaths and things of that nature, and trauma, retention and treatment. All sorts of things. So, I’ll definitely be looking at the numbers that you guys have because they’re recent numbers. I know it’s valid data and things of that nature” (Kentucky).

Future strategy monitoring and modification |
“Maybe the dashboard will become more relevant as time goes on because it’ll be a longer period of time that we’ll be looking at and so we’ll have more time to reflect on and we’ll have a bigger window of time that we’re looking at” (Massachusetts). “So I think it’ll be even more important later on in the study after the community has been established, and the goals or your strategies have been in place for a while, and you can start seeing the effect” (Kentucky). “Maybe as things change in terms of opioid response, there might be a need to start looking at some other forms of data, but the data supplied now are okay, thank you” (New York).

Use conditional on data changes |
[When asked whether they would use the dashboard next year] “So I feel, I feel like if the data is, if I can track the same data on the dashboard that my DC [data coordinator] is giving to us, then yes” (Ohio). “[T]he reality is that the workload is very, very high and we’re frequently, and this won’t surprise you, we’re frequently coordinators and CEFs [community engagement facilitators] in a position of hurry up and do this today. And so it doesn’t allow for a lot of time for reflection and kind of that kind of thoughtful consideration...maybe it should be built into something a little bit more so that it is part of something” (Massachusetts). “I think it would be good for a community like the HEALing [Communities Study] to have that presence long term and having it be a problem-solving person means it could be one person serving multiple sites and not just ongoing doing something, but really targeted to needs. I think would be very helpful” (New York).

Content |
“If we could break it down like [deidentied participant] said earlier by zip code that would be phenomenal because you know we wouldn’t have to wait for the meeting, we’d be able to see it anytime” (Ohio). “Well, I would love to see the information for the rest of the study in the community personally. I mean, I can understand why they limited it...I don’t mind comparing, you know, this one township to different counties and seeing how people are doing, you know...if the numbers showed something drastic, I would call over there and say, ‘What are you doing that we’re not doing?’” (New York) “One is that it feels a bit, I don’t know, not really, doesn’t get that accurate. Maybe it just can’t. Maybe there’s no way for it possibly to give an accurate illustration of the communities that it is supposed to represent, and maybe there’s just no way to do that. Maybe it’s just because I know the community so well, and maybe if somebody didn’t know the communities at all, they would look at that and say, ‘Wow, this is really helpful’” (Massachusetts).

Function |
“I just wish it was publicly available, because if I could send a link to somebody on my coalition there’s much better chance they’d be able to see it and access it” (Ohio). “It’s not accessible to general community or other groups that are not inside the [HCSa] structure. So, I guess there’s that piece, so thinking about that. Is there a purpose and a reason to make it public?” (Kentucky) “Something that has been frustrating for me, from some of the HCS data that we get is we get a lot of plots, but we never get the underlying data. And always what I want to do is be able to download it, download it into like visualization software that I use, add those like timeline components, and then present it in a way that I know my community will understand” (New York).

“My thing now is how can I make it into a Facebook post-type of thing to grab people’s attention; that we can start the conversation and engage them in the conversation. Having tools or in a format that we can say, ‘Let’s share this part and this part.’ Perhaps get some people engaged in talking about this issue or finding a champion about this issue. How can we make it usable like that?” (Kentucky) “I think it could be structured a little bit differently. You know specific to Healing Communities Study, you know, if we, if we really intended EBP [evidence-based practice] selection and monitoring for these tools, then I think they would have been they should be structured a little bit differently. The dashboard is getting there. I know we have like an MOUD view and a safer prescribing view, which I think is really helpful and you know if that was more like the primary way of looking at it. I think that would really increase its use for what we hope it would be used for” (Ohio).
