State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS) Report, 2023
SUDORS is a surveillance system developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to collect comprehensive data on unintentional and undetermined overdose deaths. SUDORS aims to enhance state surveillance of drug overdoses to inform the development of prevention efforts across the state to reduce overdose deaths. This information comes from death certificates, coroner reports, and toxicology reports. The information collected is then de-identified and entered into the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS). South Dakota received funding in 2019 to start collecting SUDORS data, with 2020 being the first full year of SUDORS data collected.
