Creating a Consortium to Combat the Opioid Epidemic in Ohio, Nov 2019
Matthew Courser, PhD, Senior Research Scientist with PIRE helps communities in Ohio work with data and build capacity to address public health issues. “At the state and community level, we had prevention, treatment, and recovery pretty much siloed,” Courser said. “Communities really weren’t able to collaborate across the continuum of care.” Courser added that, while communities he had worked with had collected some data, a key gap was that strategic planning around OUD was not data-driven.
