Proposed Project State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS)--New -- National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description In 2013, there were nearly 44,000 drug overdose deaths, including nearly 36,000 unintentional drug overdose deaths, in the United States. More people are now dying of drug overdose than automobile crashes in the U.S. A major driver of the problem are overdoses related to opioids, both opioid pain relievers (OPRs) and illicit forms such as heroin. In order to address this public health problem, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has made addressing the opioid abuse problem a high priority. In order to support targeting of drug overdose prevention efforts, detect new trends in fatal unintentional drug overdoses, and assess the progress of HHS's initiative to reduce opioid abuse and overdoses, the State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS) plans to generate public health surveillance information at the national, state, and local levels that is more detailed, useful, and timely than is currently available. SUDORS will collect information that is currently not collected on death certificates such as whether the drug(s) causing the overdoses were injected or taken orally, decedent toxicology report, if available, and risk factors for fatal drug overdoses including previous drug overdoses, decedent's mental health, and whether the decedent recently exiting a treatment program. SUDORS will leverage on the existing web-based data collection platform, the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) (OMB Control No. 0920-0607), to collect Coroner and Medical Examiner (CME) information, including toxicology, and death certificate information on unintentional fatal drug overdoses. This proposed collection will generate public health surveillance information on unintentional fatal drug overdoses. This information will help develop, inform, and assess the progress of drug overdose prevention strategies. Without this information, drug overdose efforts are often based on limited information available in the death certificate and anecdotal evidence. OMB approval is requested for three years. Participation is based on secondary data and is dependent on separate data collection efforts in each state managed by the state health departments or their bona fide agent. The estimated annual burden hours are 7,008. There are no costs to respondents.
