This is an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) and Gila County Public Health & Emergency Management. The contract is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the Overdose Data to Action (OD2A-S) grant, which involves a federal pass-through from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Arizona Department of Health Services and subsequently to Gila County.

The contract is a cost reimbursement agreement with a total annual budget of $80,000, covering the period from September 1st, 2023 to August 31st, 2024. The primary objective is to enhance ADHS's ability to track and prevent nonfatal and fatal overdoses by implementing surveillance strategies and evidence-based interventions focused on the opioid crisis. Specific tasks include developing public safety partnerships, implementing harm reduction strategies like naloxone distribution, creating community-based linkages to care, and developing educational materials about opioid misuse prevention. The contract allows for up to a 10% transfer between budget line items with prior written approval, and federal funds will be used to support county health departments in implementing data-driven prevention efforts.
