Florida's Linked Opioid Response and Epidemiological Network for Comprehensive Evaluation (FLORENCE) Project is sponsored by the Florida Department of Children & Families under the Applied Research Contract (LH862). The goal of the FLORENCE Project is to develop data-driven, predictive models that identify and support effective strategies to understand the prevalence of opioid misuse and opioid use disorder in Florida and reduce fatal and non-fatal opioid overdoses, ultimately driving meaningful and measurable positive health outcomes. This $6 million, 5-year project involves collaboration with ISF, a government consulting and tech company in Tallahassee, as well as collaborating with other FSU faculty from the College of Social Work and the Survey Foundry.
