Addiction Evidence Project

The HPIO Addiction Evidence Project provides state policymakers and other stakeholders with tools to:

• Quickly find existing information about what works
• Review addiction policy changes enacted in Ohio in recent years
• Assess the extent to which new policies align with existing standards and evidence
• Identify areas where Ohio policy can be better aligned with standards and evidence, including potential gaps in Ohio’s response to the addiction crisis
