康涅狄格州公共卫生厅（DPH）10 月 21 日宣布，上线新的在线数据仪表盘「康涅狄格州非故意过量用药死亡报告」（Report on Connecticut Unintentional Overdose Deaths）。该仪表盘展示全州因药物过量导致的死亡本地数据，每月更新，公众可按全州、城镇或「县级规划区」（County Equivalent Planning Region，即用于规划的相邻城镇组）查看，并可观察趋势随时间的变化。

Connecticut Public Health Department Launches Overdose Death Dashboard: Monthly Data by Town
The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) announced on October 21 the launch of a new online dashboard, the Report on Connecticut Unintentional Overdose Deaths. The dashboard shows local data on deaths caused by drug overdoses across the state. It is updated each month, and the public can view data for the state, a town, or a County Equivalent Planning Region, groups of nearby towns used for planning, and see how patterns change over time.
The dashboard was created by the DPH Injury and Violence Surveillance team. It includes new data each month, customizable charts, data by town and planning region, and changes over time, and can help local leaders, health workers and community groups understand local overdose patterns and plan prevention work. The dashboard is open to the public. Residents looking for local health and human services can call 211, and those in suicidal crisis or emotional distress can call or text 988.
"Good local data can help save lives," said DPH Commissioner Manisha Juthani, MD. "This dashboard gives towns and community groups current information they can use to act. Every number stands for a person, a family, and a community." (GSM, based on a Connecticut Department of Public Health release)
