¡NUEVO! Substance Use Data Analytics Platform(SUDA)

¿Qué es SUDA?

A medida que los opioides continúan desafiando a los municipios y comunidades, el papel de los datos y el análisis nunca ha sido más crucial como una herramienta poderosa en la lucha contra esta epidemia. La plataforma SUDA representa un avance significativo en las capacidades de datos de la Commonwealth of Virginia y es una iniciativa estratégica dirigida a proporcionar acceso seguro al análisis de datos integrados entre socios estatales y locales.

The goal of SUDA is to enhance the Commonwealth’s ability to make informed decisions and implement effective interventions. By leveraging the power of integrated data, SUDA supports public education and prevention campaigns, further strengthening the Commonwealth’s collective efforts to fight the opioid and substance use epidemic.
