Racial Disparities on Overdose Task Force

To respond to accelerating rates of overdose death among Black Marylanders, Maryland established the Racial Disparities on Overdose Task Force (RDOTF) in 2021. The RDOTF met bimonthly between February 2021 and May 2022 with the mission of investigating the contributing factors related to increasing overdose deaths among Black Marylanders and recommending solutions to reduce racial disparities in overdose outcomes.
