The Foundation will work with local interests to support substance misuse prevention, treatment and recovery efforts and invest funds to support these efforts for Ohioans into the future.
Webinars
Ask the Expert: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder
In the latest video explainer in the Ask the Expert series, Dr. John Winhusen explains how medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) work, their effectiveness, and dispels myths about MOUD.
Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) help reduce or block the euphoric effects of illicit opioids, decrease opioid craving, and help individuals engage more fully in work and social roles. Studies have found that buprenorphine and methadone are associated with a 53 percent reduction in all-cause mortality, with significant reductions in suicide, cancer, drug-related, and alcohol-related deaths.

Webinar: How to Build Opioid Data Dashboards for Community Decision-Making
Data dashboards are powerful tools that can support community engagement and decision-making by providing public health surveillance and early detection of emerging health threats, as well as facilitating efficient resource allocation. These dashboards serve as a transparent and customizable platform for communicating critical information in easy-to-understand, interactive formats (e.g., charts, graphs, maps) to policymakers, stakeholders, community members, and the public. The webinar aimed to show how data dashboards can facilitate evidence-based decision-making by providing insights into effective approaches, gaps in substance use disorder services, and opportunities to address challenges within communities. Download the slides and view the recording at the Dashboard Webinar Website.
