Data Snapshot: October 23, 2024.
Actively implemented strategies are defined as those delivering services to individuals meant to benefit from the EBP strategy in at least one service delivery location.
Percent calculated as the number of implemented strategies with available reach data out of the total number of implemented strategies.
Number of reporting partners/organizations for a strategy is set equal to the maximum number of partners/organizations reporting data during any single month of implementation.
The reach of a single strategy is calculated as the average number of individuals reached per month of implementation. The average number of individuals reached is then summed by strategy type. The sum of the counts for strategy type may not equal the total counts due to rounding.
Other OEND strategies include care coordination to facilitate connections to OEND receipt.
Other MOUD strategies include care coordination to facilitate connections to MOUD referrals.
