description: The Delaware Opioid Metric Intelligence Project (DOMIP) - provides community surveillance capabilities in Delaware to help reduce its prescription and illicit drug problems. DOMIP achieves this by integrating data-on overdose deaths, crime, population characteristics and community resources into a user-friendly web application called the DOMIP Mapping app. The mapping app contains multiple years of integrated data that will allow for unprecedented community surveillance, statistical analysis, and mapping of a wide range of opioid and crimerelated metrics, at the US census tract, zip code, Delaware House District and county levels. Users can also select layers to view where overdose deaths are concentrated. Such information will inform best practices that assist efforts to reduce the negative impact of the opioid problem on all Delawareans. The information presented here does not necessarily reflect the positions of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ).
description: OD Death Rate = Total drug overdose death rate, age-adjusted per 100,000 population for respective year Opioid OD Death Rate = Opioid drug overdose death rate, age-adjusted per 100,000 population for respective year State OD Death Rate = Total drug overdose death rate age-adjusted per 100,000 population for respective year Criminal Incident Rate = Total reported criminal offenses per 1,000 population for respective year (2018 - 2020) Drug Incident Rate = Total reported drug offenses per 1,000 population for respective year (2018 - 2020) Arrest Rate = Total arrests of Delaware residents by DE police per 1,000 population for respective year (2013 - 2017) Drug Arrest Rate = Total drug arrests of Delaware residents by DE police per 1,000 population for respective year (2013 - 2017) Median Home Value = Average dollar value of homes in area for respective year Poverty = % population estimate below Federal poverty line for respective year Disability = % population with a disability for respective year Uninsured = % population without health insurance for respective year

description: The project does not involve primary research with human subjects. It uses an archival database that includes information on individuals, which we will aggregate to the census tract level. No individual-level analyses will be conducted.The archival data are collected by Delaware's Division of Professional Regulation (DPR) Office of Controlled Substances (OCS) Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP); Division of Forensic Science (DFS) and the Criminal Justice Council's (CJC) Delaware Criminal Justice Information System (DELJIS).The overdose death rates only include the deaths of persons with home addresses located within the state of Delaware. As such, persons who were marked as "homeless" in some manner or who overdosed in Delaware but did not have a current home address in the state were removed from our data and were not included in the rates calculated. This was done in an attempt to ensure the rates are based on accurate resident information that is consistent with the estimated population totals for census tracts from the American Community Survey and Census. Other missing data are denoted with a "NULL" designation.For more information about this project, users can access the Delaware Opioid Metric Intelligence Project (DOMIP) website.Steps used to Calculate Age-Adjusted Rates*: Step 1: Initial Rate Calculation (using yearly American Community Survey data) Rate = (Overdose Deaths per Age Group per Census Tract / Total Age Group Population per Census Tract) * 100,000 Step 2: Creating the Weight (using 2010 Census data for standardization) Weight = Total Age Group Population of DE (2010) / Total Population of DE (2010) Step 3: Applying Weight Rate Calculated in Step 1 (by Census Tract) * Weight Calculated in Step 2 Step 4: Collapsing Data to Census Tracts Once the age-group rates are weighted, this data is collapsed to the census tract thereby adding the weighted values of each age group into a summed total age-adjusted rate by census tract. *For more information on age-adjusted rates, see: https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/13357.
