As of July 1, 2021, the reporting of COVID-19 outbreaks within selected settings by facility name, number of cases and deaths is no longer required by law, and this dataset will no longer be updated.
This dataset includes data reported to VDH on outbreaks that occurred in Higher Education Settings in Virginia. The data included are the name of the facility, locality of the facility, date VDH is notified about the outbreak, status of the outbreak, and the number of associated cases and deaths. This data set was first published on January 15, 2021. This data set was last updated on June 25, 2021.

A “runaway slave record,” or as it is officially titled, “Runaway and Escaped Slaves Records, 1794, 1806-1863,” include accounts, correspondence, receipts, and reports concerning expenses incurred by localities related to the capture of enslaved people attempting to escape bondage to pursue freedom. The collection also includes records with information related to enslaved people from multiple localities who escaped to United States military forces during the Civil War. While many independent businesses bought and sold human beings, local and state governments such as the state of Virginia also participated in and profited from human trafficking. Localities were reimbursed for the expenses of confining, feeding, and selling of self-emancipated people, and likewise, the state established procedures to compensate enslavers for their financial loss when enslaved people ran away or were imprisoned or executed. If a person was captured and their enslaver could not be identified, they became the property of the state and were sold. The proceeds from these sales went to the state treasury, and often, records of those sales can be found in the Public Claims records from the Auditor of Public Accounts. The net proceeds were deposited into the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Literary Fund for the public education of poor white children.

This data is culled from the site COVID County Data and shows the daily recordation of the total number of cases and deaths from COVID-19 for each locality in Virginia. Dates covered: 1/21/2020 through 9/14/2020 (last update).

This dataset lists Hunger Action Coalition (HAC) Member Organizations.

This collection consists of work contracts between formerly enslaved individuals and employers enacted during the operation of the Freedmen’s Bureau. On March 3, 1865, the federal government created The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands using the Freedmen's Bureau Bill. Also known as the "Freedmen's Bureau," this agency was responsible for aiding refugees of the Civil War, especially formerly enslaved people in the areas of education, employment, and health care. Meant to last for only one year after the war, the Bureau was largely operational from June 1865 to December 1868, and officially abolished in 1872. Local offices of the Freedmen's Bureau assisted in drawing up contracts between formerly enslaved people and employers. These contracts were meant to ensure that the formerly enslaved were accorded fair and legal work contracts that included precise terms of employment. However because many formerly enslaved people were forced to enter into arrangements with former enslavers, arrangements could be largely ignored or abused. They eventually morphed into sharecropping and debt peonage. Contracts usually specify the dates of the expected employment, the occupation of the employee, expected wages and housing arrangements, and any rent that was to be paid to the employer. These records were generated by the federal government and therefore many are housed in the National Archives, however a few localities retained possession of these records in their courthouses after the dissolution of the Freedmen’s Bureau in 1872.

Preferred Office-Based Opioid Treatment Programs, also called Preferred OBOTs, are a type of outpatient addiction treatment designed for people with opioid use disorder (OUD). Preferred OBOTs provide high quality Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), for treating people with OUD. This dataset includes Medicaid enrolled Preferred OBOTs along with their contact information.

For more information, see the Virginia Medicaid Enterprise System (MES) site regarding preferred office-based treatment programs: https://vamedicaid.dmas.virginia.gov/manual-chapters/preferred-office-based-addiction-treatment-and-opioid-treatment-programs or the DMAS OTS Manual https://www.dmas.virginia.gov/media/3765/ots-manual.pdf.

This dataset has been classified as a Tier 0 asset by the Commonwealth Data Trust. Tier 0 classifies a data resource as information that is neither sensitive nor proprietary, and intended for public access.

Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) are programs certified by the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that engage in supervised assessment and treatment, using methadone, buprenorphine, L-alpha acetyl methadol, or naltrexone, of members who are addicted to opioids. Opioid Treatment Services (OTS) includes the use of Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) in addition to the psychotherapy services to treat a member with an OUD.

OTP providers must be licensed by DBHDS as a provider of Medication Assisted Opioid Treatment/Opioid Treatment Services and contracted by the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) and the DMAS fee-for-service Contractor as an Addiction and Recovery Treatment Services (ARTS) OTP Provider.

For treatments, take home doses have a maximum 28-day limit dispensing at a time and must be approved by the State Opioid Treatment Authorities (SOTA).

Dataset manually derived from Private View - EMS Biospatial - Substance Use Incidents dataset.

This dataset contains Emergency Medical Services (EMS) information for reported incidents that involve a substance or have suspected substance involvement. Data in this dataset has been provided by the Biospatial system on behalf of the Office of EMS.

Please be advised that the accuracy of the data within the EMS patient care reporting system is limited by system performance and the accuracy of data submissions received from EMS agencies. Of note, this dataset includes records reporting all patient dispositions (e.g., treated and transported, treated and transferred care, assist). As such, unique patients may be counted more than once in the dataset (e.g., if a patient was treated by two EMS agencies, that patient may be counted in the dataset twice). This data should not be interpreted as the number of unique substance use incidents reported by Virginia EMS agencies.
