Among states publishing any type of data, 9 reported performing any deduplication efforts to capture unique overdose events and 1 state reported performing deduplication efforts across the prehospital and within-hospital care settings
Counts are not mutually exclusive within this data characteristic. Other community responses include responses by poison control centers or naloxone administrations delivered by a community grant program, layperson, or bystander prior to emergency medical services responding. The other health care setting group includes drug overdoses that resulted in health care utilization more broadly, such as aggregate counts of hospitalizations (ED and inpatient) or Medicaid claims. Geographic granularity was based on the most granular unit published by states. Real-time data reporting was defined as publication of data within 2 weeks of the overdose.
