• In response to Rhode Island's overdose epidemic, we developed a collaborative, statewide online "dashboard" to provide the public with timely overdose surveillance data.TheWeb site--www.PreventOverdoseRI.org (PORI)--offers user-friendly data visualizations, plain language education, and interactive resource maps. Development of the site has improved overdose data sharing andtransparency inRhodeIsland. Preliminary results suggest a successful site launch. Future research will evaluate the effectiveness of PORI in terms of informing strategic initiatives to reduce overdoses in affected communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
