Funding for a speaker at the January ACA 2025 Winter Conference.

We delivered a 12-minute presentation introducing the funding agency, the rationale for establishing the DDRC, and the center’s mission to integrate diverse datasets, develop substance use risk metrics, and demonstrate how researchers and the public will be able to utilize DDRC data for studies and evidence-based decision-making.

We presented a session showcasing the practical applications of the Southern Regional Drug Data Research Center (DDRC). The session outlined the range of data that will be available on the DDRC platform and demonstrated the planned format for future visualizations using Power BI. Attendees were introduced to user-friendly tools designed to promote public engagement and learned how researchers and the public will be able to utilize the platform for studies and evidence-based decision-making.

We presented a session introducing the Southern Regional Drug Data Research Center (DDRC), a centralized data repository covering opioid and drug data across 17 southern U.S. states. The session highlighted the DDRC’s mission to consolidate data, support evidence-based decision-making, and provide resources for community interventions. Attendees learned about the center’s data frameworks, integration strategies, and how these efforts inform public policy and resource allocation. This TTA was simultaneously presented onsite in a conference room and broadcast via Zoom.
