The California Department of Public Health is supporting the Overdose Data Collection & Analysis Project (ODCAP), which aims to improve overall overdose surveillance, respond more rapidly to overdose spikes, and inform prevention and treatment. The project intends to establish syndromic surveillance in California to support near real-time tracking of non-fatal overdose and drug misuse surveillance.
This project receives funding from Opioid Settlement Funds (OSF) through California’s Opioid Settlements.
