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.

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).
