ASTHO: Harm Reduction Overdose Prevention Center Legislation

Loading...

About this dataset:

Overdose prevention centers (OPCs) are facilities where controlled substances, obtained outside the center, may be consumed in a safe environment with monitoring by staff.  These centers are intended to lessen the risk of overdose and often also provide access to critical services such as syringe exchange, fentanyl test strip and naloxone distribution, and referrals to treatment for infectious diseases and substance use disorder. 

This is a longitudinal dataset analyzing proposed legislation related to the establishment of overdose prevention centers and state pilot programs for overdose prevention centers as from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2023.
