The California Overdose Prevention Network (COPN) and the Public Health Alliance of Southern California are teaming up in this webinar and workshop series to discuss how intervening on the social determinants of health (SDoH) can reduce the opioid overdose rate and overdose deaths.
This first webinar will cover:
How improving community conditions like increasing household income, access to transportation, and safe, stable housing are key aspects of opioid overdose prevention
How and what community-centered solutions can improve opioid overdose rates
How to use the Healthy Places Index (HPI) map platform to determine community strengths and opportunities for intervention to improve opioid overdose death rates, emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and opioid prescription rates
In the workshop series together, we will:
Take a deep dive into a new tool called the Strategic Action Planner & SDoH Roadmap that will help coalition members
Effectively access the opioid data on the HPI map platform
Understand what these data mean and how to use them to develop community-driven solutions
Learn key strategies for communicating results and implementing solutions with communities
