Tempe Youth Fentanyl Awareness and Use - Arizona Youth Survey (Dataset)

This dataset provides fatal and nonfatal drug overdose statistics for Tempe. Each record represents an aggregated overdose statistic for a specified year, category, and subcategory. Data include overall overdose statistics and available breakdowns by age, sex, race and ethnicity, Zip Code, drugs involved, and other reported characteristics. Fatal overdose data are based on deaths occurring within Maricopa County and are derived from death certificate data. Information about drugs involved in fatal overdoses is supplemented with toxicology data from the Maricopa County Office of the Medical Examiner (OME). Nonfatal overdose data are derived from hospital discharge records for Maricopa County residents. This dataset is a Tempe-focused subset of overdose data provided by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and supports public reporting and analysis of overdose trends. Data Scope The dataset contains aggregated fatal and nonfatal overdose statistics relevant to Tempe, with Maricopa County statistics included where available for context or comparison. Data may include overall statistics and breakdowns by demographic characteristics, ZIP Code, drugs involved, and other available categories. Fatal overdose statistics are based on the location of the overdose incident. Nonfatal overdose statistics are based on the patient's residence address. Zip Code Changes Zip Code 85288 was established on July 1, 2022. Maricopa County Department of Public Health re-geocoded historical fatal overdose data to reflect the updated Zip Code boundaries, including the new Zip Code of 85288.  Nonfatal overdose data for 2022 were geocoded after the full year of data was finalized. As a result, 2022 data reported for Zip Code 85288 represent the entire calendar year are not limited to nonfatal overdoses occurring after July 1, 2022.   Data Use This dataset may be used to examine overdose trends in Tempe, explore available demographic and geographic breakdowns, identify drugs associated with overdose events, and compare selected Tempe statistics with Maricopa County data. The dataset also supports the Tempe Opioid Misuse dashboard and related public reporting. Data Limitations Fatal and nonfatal overdose data are derived from different systems and use different geographic definitions. Fatal overdose data are based on the location of the overdose incident, while nonfatal overdose data are based on patient residence. Rates reported use latest available population estimates as denominators and over time may be adjusted as new population estimates become available.  Hospital records used for nonfatal overdoses may not identify the specific drug responsible for an overdose. Hospitalizations and emergency department visits represent only a portion of the overall burden of nonfatal drug overdose. Drugs identified through toxicology testing in fatal overdose cases were not necessarily the cause of death. Drug-related percentages are calculated among OME-investigated fatal overdoses with available toxicology results. Homelessness status at the time of death is collected by the Office of the Medical Examiner and is not available before 2020. Related percentages are calculated among OME-investigated fatal overdoses with available toxicology results. Maricopa County Department of Public Health identifies fatal overdoses using qualifying ICD-10 codes appearing in any cause-of-death field. This approach may differ from methods used by other jurisdictions, so comparisons with other data sources should be made with caution.

This dataset comes from the Annual Community Survey questions that relate to this performance measure, if they answered "Yes" to being a victim of crime in the past 6 months: “Were the police informed that your household had been burglarized, or did they find out about this incident in any way?” and "Were the police informed that you were robbed, physically assaulted, or sexually assaulted, or did they find out about this incident in any way?" Respondents are asked to provide their answer as “Yes” or “No” (without “don’t know” as an option). The survey is mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Tempe and has a 95% confidence level.

This dataset provides the percentage of cases cleared in a 4-year period out of the total number of offenses reported for the City of Tempe and cohort cities. Clearance rates are developed as part of the Department’s report for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) under the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Program. NIBRS reporting includes Group A and Group B offenses. Group A offenses are categorized as Crimes Against Persons, Crime Against Property, or Crimes Against Society and are used for this dataset. The statistics in the UCR Program are based on reports the Tempe Police Department officially submits to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS).  In the UCR Program, there are two ways that a law enforcement agency can report that an offense is cleared:  (1) cleared by arrest or solved for crime reporting purposes or  (2) cleared by exceptional means.   An offense is cleared by arrest, or solved for crime reporting purposes, when three specific conditions have been met. The three conditions are that at least one person has been: (1) arrested; (2) charged with the commission of the offense; and (3) turned over to the court for prosecution.   In some situations, an agency may be prevented from arresting and formally charging an offender due to factors outside of the agency’s control. In these cases, an offense can be cleared by exceptional means, if the following four conditions are met: (1) identified the offender; (2) gathered enough evidence to support an arrest, make a charge, and turn over the offender to the court for prosecution; (3) identified offender’s exact location so that suspect can immediately be taken into custody; and (4) encountered a circumstance outside law enforcement’s control that prohibits arresting, charging and prosecuting the offender.  The UCR clearance rate is one tool for helping the police to understand and assess success at investigating crimes. However, these rates should be interpreted with an understanding of the unique challenges faced with reporting and investigating crimes. Clearance rates for a given year may be greater than 100% because a clearance is reported for the year the clearance occurs, which may not be the same year that the crime occurred. Often, investigations may take months or years, resulting in cases being cleared years after the actual offense. Additionally, there may be delays in the reporting of crimes, which would push the clearance of the case out beyond the year it happened.  The performance measure dashboard is available at 1.12 Violent Cases Clearance Rate   Data Dictionary - (pending)   Additional Information  Source: Tempe Police Department (TPD) Versadex Records Management System (RMS) submitted to Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZ DPS) who submits data to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) Contact:  Miranda O'Boyle Contact E-Mail: miranda_oboyle@tempe.gov Data Source Type:  Excel Preparation Method:  Drawn from the Monthly AZ DPS reports/online publications Publish Frequency:  Annually Publish Method: Manual
