Steps in Outbreak Investigation

179
In the ever-evolving field of public health, statistical analysis serves as a cornerstone for understanding and managing disease outbreaks. By leveraging various statistical tools, health professionals can predict potential outbreaks, analyze ongoing situations, and devise effective responses to mitigate impact. For that to happen, there are a few possible stages of the analysis:

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Disease

Background:

  • People who inject drugs (PWID) are at high risk for viral and bacterial infections.
  • Syringe Services Programs (SSPs) are crucial interventions, especially in areas prone to HIV outbreaks.
  • Identifying priority areas for SSPs in Florida is essential for addressing substance use and overdose crises.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To pinpoint high-priority communities in Florida for SSP implementation.
  • To utilize state-level data on substance use and overdose to guide intervention strategies.
  • To identify areas vulnerable to HIV outbreaks among PWID.

Main Methods:

  • Aggregated state-level surveillance data by ZIP Code Tabulation Area (ZCTA) for 2017.
  • Used confirmed acute Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections as a proxy for injection drug use.
  • Employed Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression for a machine learning model to identify key indicators and high-priority areas.

Main Results:

  • The final model identified drug-associated skin/soft tissue infections, chronic HCV in young adults (18-39), and drug-associated endocarditis hospitalizations as key indicators.
  • High-priority areas for SSP implementation were identified in both urban and rural locations.
  • These priority areas are situated outside of current Ending the HIV Epidemic designated counties.

Conclusions:

  • SSPs are proven, safe, and effective programs for reducing disease transmission and aiding the overdose crisis.
  • Florida has opportunities to expand SSP services, supported by the Infectious Disease Elimination Act of 2019.
  • This study highlights specific regions in Florida where implementing harm reduction programs like SSPs can significantly reduce opioid overdoses and disease transmission among PWID.
