General information

Work with MDH on Overdose Fatality Reviews

The Overdose Prevention Unit is seeking partnership with at least five Local Public Health and/or Public Safety Departments who are interested in conducting Overdose Fatality Reviews. Overdose Fatality Reviews and Public Health and Safety Teams are two separate, companion models used by a growing number of communities across the country to strengthen their response to the overdose epidemic. Overdose Fatality Reviews are confidential meetings in which a diverse group of community stakeholders collaborate to share data and study the death of a specific individual to identify gaps in the system that could have saved that person's life. Public Health and Safety Teams are partnerships between public health officials, law enforcement representatives, and other local groups dedicated to preventing overdose deaths. Such teams are well positioned to help perform OFRs.
