The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), together with a range of provincial partners, established the Provincial Overdose Cohort to identify risk factors and trends in health care utilization related to the public health emergency, with a view to inform and support the efforts of service delivery partners.
The research community in British Columbia (BC) has been a key partner in promoting data-driven public health policy, most recently as part of the provincial response to the public health emergency on overdose deaths.
PopData works in collaboration with the BCCDC to support access to, and analysis of, the ODC data.
