More than 1 million people have died in the United States from drug overdoses since 1991. Countless campaigns have been launched to combat the epidemic, but how do researchers determine whether these community collaborative initiatives are effective? Cordata’s Operation 2 Save Lives (O2SL) & QRT National has developed a tool to help gauge the effectiveness of life-saving efforts. An article detailing Cordata’s O2SL & QRT National’s development of the tool, which complements the Capability Maturity Model (CMM), has been published in the Journal for Community Safety & Well-Being. The article published on March 20, 2025, titled “The creation and application of the Project Management Adherence Tool (PMAT) in understanding and advancing deflection programs and other community-based initiatives,” was written by Cordata’s O2SL & QRT National’s Senior Community Engagement Leaders Daniel P. Meloy, Mike Botieri and Scott Allen, and their colleague, Primary Research Investigator Dr. Carol Gregory, a subject matter expert
