Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 Antibodies in Rhode Island From a Statewide Random Sample
Objectives. To characterize statewide seroprevalence and point prevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in Rhode Island. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of randomly selected households across Rhode Island in May 2020. Antibody-based and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)–based tests for SARS-CoV-2 were offered.

Development of a Statewide, Publicly Accessible Drug Overdose Surveillance and Information System
In response to Rhode Island’s overdose epidemic, we developed a collaborative, statewide online “dashboard” to provide the public with timely overdose surveillance data. The Web site— www.PreventOverdoseRI.org (PORI)—offers user-friendly data visualizations, plain language education, and interactive resource maps. Development of the site has improved overdose data sharing and transparency in Rhode Island. Preliminary results suggest a successful …
