Opioid Affected Youth Initiative Technical Assistance

The OJJDP FY 2018 Opioid Affected Youth Initiative will fund sites to develop a data-driven coordinated response to identify and address challenges resulting from opioid abuse that are impacting youth and community safety. Category 2: Opioid Affected Youth Initiative Technical Assistance will help Category 1 sites develop tools and agreements for data collection, sharing, and interpretation; develop short and long-term outcome measurements; and develop deliverables that will track, document, and analyze the impact of programs and strategies implemented by sites to combat the opioid epidemic.

The Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR) will use funding to assist states, local governments, and tribal jurisdictions that receive funding under Category 1 of the Opioid Affected Youth Initiative in developing and implementing effective, data-driven, and coordinated responses that address the abuse of opioids and provide services to improve public safety and outcomes for youth and their families impacted by the opioid crisis. IIR will support Category 1 grantees as they enhance their capacities to reduce opioid abuse in their communities by making use of data-driven, evidence-based strategies tailored to specific local concerns and provide technical assistance and related support to help sites to develop tools and agreements for data collection, sharing, and interpretation; develop short and long-term outcome measurements; and develop deliverables that will track, document, and analyze the impact of strategies and programs implemented by Category 1 sites.
