General description

The State Emergency Department Databases comprise a collection of longitudinal state-specific emergency department (ED) databases (in the HCUP family) and collect discharge information for all visits to the emergency department that do not result in admission. SEDD enables its users to get a glimpse of data on social determinants of health (SDOH). ED visits related to opioid use or drugs in general.
