Maryland heath department unveils new dashboard to track drug overdose data

The Maryland Department of Health released a new online drug overdose dashboard Tuesday that will allow visitors to delve more deeply into demographic and geographic data. The dashboard is a new iteration of the state’s previous site, which was maintained by Maryland’s Office of Overdose Response. The new dashboard will be updated monthly, rather than every 90 days, and has new features like the ability to search data by ZIP code, age, race and gender.
