USDA LAUNCHES DATA TOOL TO HELP RURAL COMMUNITIES ADDRESS OPIOIDS

摘要

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched an interactive data tool to help community leaders build grassroots strategies to address the opioid epidemic. The opioid misuse Community Assessment Tool enables users to overlay substance misuse data against socioeconomic, census, and other public information. This data will help leaders, research-ers, and policymakers assess what actions will be most effective in addressing the opioid crisis at the local level.
