This site houses data dashboards to help NC communities make plans for spending their opioid settlement funds, and to report on the programs that are supported using settlement funding.
Opioid Indicators
This opioid indicator dashboard provides some key indicators of opioid harm. These include overdose deaths and Emergency Department (ED) visits for overdose, the proportion of overdoses that involve illicit drugs, and people with prescriptions for opioids. These numbers describe some, but not all, of the impact of opioids on the people of our state.
Community Drivers of Health
Our individual choices and behaviors impact health, and our health is also affected by the physical environment and social pressures in our communities. A community’s social pressures can include poverty, unemployment, lack of health insurance, incarceration, and housing problems. These social pressures can intensify the use of drugs and their impact on health. Suicide is another health problem that, like use of drugs, is strongly influenced by social pressures. This community health indicator dashboard presents information on these six community drivers of health.
