Full Report
ASTHO created the Suicide, Overdose, Adverse Childhood Experiences Prevention Capacity Assessment Tool (SPACECAT) in collaboration with CDC and NACCHO, as a collaborative self-assessment tool that assists state, local, and territorial/freely associated state health agencies in taking inventory of their capacity to address the intersection between adverse childhood experiences, suicide, and overdose. To better understand these issues, ASTHO and our partners fielded a survey to health agencies to better understand their capacity to manage and respond to suicide, overdose, and adverse childhood experiences. In this national report, we break down our biggest findings from the data, and highlight the biggest barriers facing health agencies today.
