Feds’ New Tool to Combat Opioid Crisis: Data

Federal officials have a new tool to battle the opioid crisis: data. The Office of National Drug Control Policy’s “High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area” program is using a web portal called the “OD Map” to track overdoses caused by opioids in real time. The program will help the agency target high-problem areas with resources and track the sources of the drugs.
