Abstract
This report illustrates the value of GIS mapping in monitoring the impact of overdose death prevention efforts, including the availability of naloxone in pharmacies. Analysis of these data over the next 5 years will provide valuable information on the potential impact of naloxone-distributing pharmacies on overdose rates, which, in turn, will inform pharmacists and pharmacy organizations on the value of carrying naloxone in pharmacies and inform local communities of its availability.
