The session outlined the range of data that will be available on the DDRC platform and demonstrated the planned format for future visualizations using Power BI.

We presented a session introducing the Southern Regional Drug Data Research Center (DDRC), a centralized data repository covering opioid and drug data across 17 southern U.S. states. The session highlighted the DDRC’s mission to consolidate data, support evidence-based decision-making, and provide resources for community interventions. Attendees learned about the center’s data frameworks, integration strategies, and how these efforts inform public policy and resource allocation.
