9/23/20212019 Surveillance Maps
The WV Violence and Injury Prevention Program (VIPP) received Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding through the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) cooperative agreement in 2019. An activity under this grant is to improve PDMP infrastructure or information systems to support proactive reporting and data analysis, including enhancing reporting systems to increase frequency and quality of reporting. The VIPP is able to achieve the goal of this activity through collaboration with the West Virginia Board of Pharmacy (BOP), which houses the Controlled Substance Monitoring Program (CSMP). The CDC provided specific indicators to measure opioid prescribing behaviors during the previous cooperative agreement (PDO-PfS) which continue to be used in the state. The BOP and VIPP were interested in modifying these indicators to establish state-specific measures. The results of this analysis were obtained using 2019 CSMP data.
