Description : The purpose of this work plan is to assess the capacity, needs, and current policy/procedures of coroners and related professionals in Nebraska in determining the cause of death in regards to drug overdoses. The results of this study will aid the Drug Overdose Prevention (DOP) program and Injury Surveillance in providing training and other resources to coroners, helping family members who have lost a loved one, focusing prevention efforts, informing the statewide crisis response plan, and serving as a baseline for future studies and grants. Ultimately, the DOP wishes to reduce opioid involved fatal and non-fatal overdoses in Nebraska.
