The purpose of this information collection is to detect state and local community changes in unintentional and undetermined intent drug-related overdose mortality and provide in-depth state and local (e.g., county) information on risk factors for fatal drug overdose deaths (opioid and non-opioid). State public health departments will be funded to abstract standardized data elements from medical examiner/coroner (ME/C) reports as well as death certificates and will report this information to CDC using a web-based platform. Findings will be used to inform the selection and targeting of interventions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This Revision requests removal of a respondent and a modification of the burden hours.
US Code:
42 USC 301
Name of Law: Public Health Service Act
The burden estimate has been changed to reflect the increase in drug overdose deaths. The previous burden estimates were based drug overdose deaths that occurred among all 50 states in 2017, or 64,998. The revision will use the total number of unintentional or undetermined intent drug overdose deaths in the US in 2020, or 87,302. The total number of unintentional or undetermined intent drug overdose deaths per jurisdiction was estimated by dividing the total number of drug overdose deaths, 87,302 by the number of participating health departments, 51, or approximately 1,711 deaths per participating health department. This created an increase from the previously approved burden of 32,838.
