SAMHSA Grant Program Data on Naloxone Distribution and First Responder Training

A Statistical Data Profile from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services examines the distribution of FDA-approved opioid overdose reversal medications like naloxone. It uses performance data from two SAMHSA grant programs to monitor the training of first responders and community organization staff to administer these medications.

Use Cases

• Analyze naloxone distribution patterns across SAMHSA grant programs to identify coverage gaps.
• Assess the scale of first responder training programs for overdose reversal medication administration.
• Correlate the provision of support services with medication distribution data from the grant programs.

Strengths

• Data originates from two U.S. SAMHSA grant programs, providing an official federal perspective.
• Focuses on FDA-approved opioid overdose reversal medications, a critical public health intervention.
• Covers both medication distribution and training of first responders and community staff.

Limitations

• The dataset is presented in HTML format, which is not structured for direct analysis and requires extraction.
• Specific quantitative metrics like row count, column names, and geographic coverage are unknown.
• Data freshness is unclear beyond the last platform update date; the underlying report's date is unspecified.
