Michigan PDO Project - The Michigan Project to Prevent Prescription Drug/Opioid Overdose-Related Deaths (MI-PDO) aims to reduce prescription drug/opioid overdose-related deaths and adverse events among residents 18+ in Calhoun, Genesee, and Wayne Counties.

Project goals include:

1. Increase capacity of the high-need communities to address the project's purpose.
2. Reduce access to opioids through implementation of safe prescribing.
3. Enhance opioid education and naloxone distribution.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (OROSC), will lead the project and partner with Prevention Network for implementation of a mini-grant program to address opioid overdose prevention efforts in the identified communities of high need. Wayne State University School of Social Work will be responsible for data collection, performance measurement, and quality improvement.

Organizations selected as part of the mini-grant program will conduct opioid education and naloxone distribution, provide referral to substance use disorder services and follow-up contacts, identify hot spot areas to place a community naloxone box, and utilize and promote the OpiRescue application for near real-time collection of naloxone administration.

OROSC, along with its training contractor, will seek out community healthcare partners to participate in a peer prescribing education program.

Overall, the MI-PDO project intends to serve 250 unduplicated individuals for the first year and 500 individuals for the subsequent years, for a total of 2,250 by the grant end.
