Drug overdose is a pressing public health concern in the United States,resulting in a significant number of fatalities each year. In this study, weemploy the Journey to Crime (JTC) framework borrowed from the field ofenvironmental criminology to examine the association between drug saleslocations and overdose death locations. In this research, our objective is toelucidate the trajectory of overdose victims to overdose locations, aiming toenhance the distribution of overdose services and interventions. To the best ofour knowledge, no previous studies have applied the JTC framework toinvestigate drug overdose deaths. By scrutinizing data obtained from theHamilton County, OH Coroners, and the Cincinnati Police Department, we endeavorto explore the plausible correlation between overdose deaths and drug saleslocations. Our findings underscore the necessity of implementing acomprehensive strategy to curtail overdose deaths. This strategy shouldencompass various facets, including targeted efforts to reduce theaccessibility of illicit drugs, the enhancement of responses to overdoseincidents through a collaborative multidisciplinary approach, and theavailability of data to inform evidence-based strategies and facilitate outcomeevaluation. By shedding light on the relationship between drug sales locationsand overdose death locations through the utilization of the JTC framework, thisstudy contributes valuable insights to the field of drug overdose prevention.It emphasizes the significance of adopting multifaceted approaches to addressthis public health crisis effectively. Ultimately, our research aims to informthe development of evidence-based interventions and policies that can mitigatethe occurrence and impact of drug overdoses in our communities.
