About this measure |
This measure tracks the number of deaths in Cuyahoga County due to opioids.
Data are reported by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office. Preliminary data are reported each quarter with updates provided as full reports are completed.
Why is this important? |
Opioid overdoses have a tremendous impact on Cuyahoga County. First and foremost, fatal overdose victims pay the ultimate price - losing their lives. Family and friends are also severely impacted by this loss. Parents lose children, siblings lose siblings, young children lose their parent(s). The crisis is also hitting virtually every County department and division through increased cost of service delivery.
How are we making an impact? | |
This is a community indicator measure. It is provided to show an understanding of the overall community health. The County government does not directly control the outcome of this measure; however, a number of programs and initiatives the County is undertaking can have an impact.

By providing thorough investigative and laboratory data to partners in treatment, public health, law enforcement and the public, the Medical Examiner's Office and Regional Forensic Science Laboratory continue to play an essential role in the county's integrated response to the opioid epidemic.
