A nationally recognized model, overdose fatality review (OFR) is being used by a growing number of communities to strengthen their community-based responses to the opioid epidemic by generating recommendations to address system, agency, population, research, and policy needs. OFRs help multi-disciplinary collaborations understand their overdose trends, identify missed opportunities for prevention and intervention to implement innovative, community-specific overdose prevention strategies. You can learn more about OFRs at www.OFRTools.org.
