Main Purpose of Job

This position will conduct a variety of analytic, administrative and coordinative tasks in support of statewide public health policy development and strategic planning, including the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A) project, for the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB), within the Maryland Department of Health (MDH)'s Prevention and Health Promotion Administration (PHPA). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention-funded OD2A project supports State, territorial, county, and city health departments, in order to obtain high-quality, more comprehensive, and timelier data on overdose morbidity and mortality. Such data is then used to inform prevention and response efforts.

Collaborations with families, community-based organizations, clinicians, health care systems, and State and local health departments will be leveraged to help establish linkages to care as part of prenatal care. This position will also help with disseminating data, resources, and the implementation of strategies for evidence-based care for women with substance use disorder and substance-exposed infants.
