The Wyoming Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Toolkit is a collaborative effort between the Wyoming Department of Health and the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center at the University of Wyoming (WYSAC). Funded through the Wyoming Grant to Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths (PDO), this project is intended to make information about prescription drug abuse and related prevention strategies more accessible.

This website aims to provide resources for prevention workers and other stakeholders throughout the lifecycles of prevention efforts. It is modeled after the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a five-step, cyclical process to help stakeholders understand and address issues of substance abuse and addiction in their communities. The SPF model includes the following components:

Assessment – Using current data to understand local needs
Capacity – Building partnerships and resources to have capacity to address prevention needs
Planning – Understanding best practices related to these needs and how to effectively implement them
Implementation – Delivering the best practices or programs selected in the previous step
Evaluation – Taking a look at how practices were implemented and whether they led to the intended outcome

Regardless of what step a community is at in its efforts to prevent prescription drug abuse, this website will provide the information and resources they need to get started, or to enhance work that’s already being done.

The purpose of this report is to document opioid-related data sources and indicators that currently exist with the aim of telling the story of prescription opioid use in the state of Wyoming. Evaluators at the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center (WYSAC) have presented the results of the data inventory throughout this report organized by opioid-related indicators, with key findings and general notes about the data source listed.

Additionally, descriptive information about and external links to each data source are catalogued in the appendix. National data are presented here, as well as state and some local level data.

When possible, the state data are compared to the national data. WYSAC at the University of Wyoming completed this project as part of a contractual agreement with the Wyoming Department of Health, Public Health Division (WDH-PHD).
