Abstract
Although the rate of drug overdose deaths in the United States stabilized between 2021 and 2022, the number of drug overdose deaths in South Carolina continued to increase.1,2 The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established the State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS) to monitor trends and circumstances of unintentional and undetermined intent drug overdose deaths at the state and national level. The CDC and other stakeholders use SUDORS data to help guide and support overdose prevention efforts. Currently funded through the CDC Overdose Data-to-Action (OD2A) grant, the South Carolina Department of Public Health (DPH) began collecting and entering drug overdose death data into SUDORS in 2021 for deaths occurring on or after July 2020. This report contains data collected by DPH on drug overdose deaths that occurred from January to December 2022.
