The Delaware Opioid Metric Intelligence Project (DOMIP) – provided community surveillance capabilities in Delaware to help reduce its prescription and illicit drug problems. DOMIP achieved this by integrating data-on overdose deaths, crime, population characteristics and community resources into a user-friendly web application called the DOMIP Mapping app. The mapping app contained six-years (2013-2018) of integrated data that allowed for unprecedented community surveillance, statistical analysis and mapping of a wide range of opiate and crime-related metrics, at the US census tract, zip code, Delaware House District and county levels. Users could also select layers to view where overdose deaths were concentrated and plot treatment resources therein. Such information informed best practices that assisted efforts to reduce the negative impact of the opioid problem on all Delawareans.
