CDC’s Division of Overdose Prevention is sponsoring the November 2022 supplemental issue of the Journal of Public Health Management and Practice highlighting Partnerships Between Public Health and Public Safety to Reduce Drug Overdose Deaths.

Guest editors of the supplement Sasha Mital and Mallory O’Brien describe the supplement this way in their new editorial “From Silos to Synergy: Public Health and Public Safety Collaborations to Reduce Drug Overdose“:

“We selected a practice-based journal for this supplement to highlight practical information for those who design and implement programs. The articles that follow illustrate the range of work and actors that contribute to these efforts, along with how PH/PS partnerships can contribute to a reduction in overdose deaths.”
