Research, white papers, and helpful planning tools

  • Research from Center of Excellence leaders and team members:
  • Data
    • South Carolina Opioid and Infectious-Disease Related Hospitalization data: This South Carolina dashboard, developed and maintained by Lior Rennert, PhD, at the Clemson University Center for Public Health Modeling and Response, displays predicted hospitalization data by ZIP code. This includes opioid-related hospitalizations as well as those related to Hepatitis C and HIV, and socioeconomic indicators as well as healthcare facility locations are displayed as factors for each ZIP code. 
    • Issue brief on using treatment data: Background from Pew Trusts on the Opioid Cascade of Care, a set of four metric domains used to understand treatment system performance. The Center is leveraging this tool in our data analytics work.
    • Data & Strategy resource list: This detailed list includes over 50 links to both data sources and information on specific strategies to support opioid and addiction planning and implementation.

  • Treatment across the criminal justice system: This report from the National Academy for State Health Policy, State Strategies to Support OUD Treatment across the Criminal Legal System, outlines opportunities to provide treatment interventions across the Sequential Intercept Model (SIM). The SIM provides a framework from community services and prevention all the way across the continuum to community corrections.
