Assessing User Engagement With an Interactive Mapping Dashboard for Overdose Prevention Informed by Predictive Modeling in Rhode Island.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Predictive modeling can identify neighborhoods at elevated risk of future overdose death and may assist community organizations' decisions about harm reduction resource allocation. In Rhode Island, PROVIDENT is a research initiative and randomized community intervention trial that developed and validated a machine learning model that predicts future overdose at a census block group (CBG) level. The PROVIDENT model prioritizes the top 20th percentile of CBGs at highest risk of future overdose death over the subsequent 6-month period. In CBGs assigned to the trial intervention arm, these predictions are then displayed for partnering community organizations via an interactive mapping dashboard.

Objective

To evaluate whether CBGs prioritized by the PROVIDENT model were a
