Substance use

Smoking, binge-drinking, and alcohol-related injury measures, with the NYSDOH opioid dashboard linked for deeper overdose surveillance.

Read the geography and period first

Circles show approximate county centers and are sized by the selected value. They are not patient locations.

Eight-county comparison

Highest reported value to lowest

Placement is descriptive. “Highest” is not automatically “worst,” particularly for access, income, screening, and protective measures.

Optional environmental context

Open the documentary record without implying causation.

Health statistics and environmental history remain separate by default. These links preserve that distinction while making related records easy to inspect.

Methodology and sources

Every value keeps its source period and geography.

Dedicated opioid and overdose measures remain a high-priority second-source integration because their update schedules and provisional status differ from CHIRS.
