A guide describing the ORCCA was subsequently developed to aid other communities throughout the country in implementing these evidence-based practices.</p><p>Despite facing unforeseen challenges, the HEALing Communities Study successfully engaged communities to select and implement thousands of evidence-based strategies over the course of the intervention, demonstrating how leveraging community partnerships and using data to inform public health decisions can effectively support the uptake of evidence-based strategies at the local level. <a href="https://nida.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/2024/06/nih-funded-intervention-did-not-impact-opioid-related-overdose-death-rates-over-evaluation-period">View the 2024 press release</a>, following the conclusion of the study.</p><p>The HEALing Communities Study was conducted as a cooperative agreement supported by NIDA—part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—and SAMHSA.
