The Opioid Industry Documents Archive (OIDA), a collaborative 
undertaking between the University of California, San Francisco and 
Johns Hopkins University, today announced the launch of the OIDA Toolbox 
<https://d7qwg4cbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001l9sj9m7NmThLnSz3YpwjtUsZgC5NTiWWwoD_1dx46swZHpF_44FzP15uqO5ubtJE11rgoeWHZq5ac378tct2GoXnWUXzPrW880KzmcpGBJJ6vrdpnOmM2FgMDa1zckMDqXCVYU-DLQpkqmkNjyHzfuNBR0H9-fBTfWcljj6F2G_BD9oBp43UhQ==&c=p0RcyzrLfyfG51ZOYRlxA6h3gY8_-2UTlvsU33YylEqOH1dEiyNG5A==&ch=DWVrDVPFDafu0jXswgz1GsCJg7rTz0x9YjD764-Iru7Js_FNKABmbw==>, 
a website created to promote data exploration and visualization of OIDA, 
providing new ways for the public to make sense of its massive 
collection of more than 3 million documents 
<https://d7qwg4cbb.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001l9sj9m7NmThLnSz3YpwjtUsZgC5NTiWWwoD_1dx46swZHpF_44FzPyP_fH0bpF1EGSC8cK-AEObGfW3RMQiOIdsDhv0dFfcso0ByTfifHR2SzE9XLOgPv8uWR6XFzFha7kcXuVwit4YBZRQIEay5WOq3aIeIOEfwvYGmvuoEXCcXpAJW-2Vnnw==&c=p0RcyzrLfyfG51ZOYRlxA6h3gY8_-2UTlvsU33YylEqOH1dEiyNG5A==&ch=DWVrDVPFDafu0jXswgz1GsCJg7rTz0x9YjD764-Iru7Js_FNKABmbw==>. 



The OIDA Toolbox provides a central access point for documentation and 
ready-to-run code to help users access the raw data behind OIDA, which 
includes metadata, the documents themselves in various file formats, and 
the text extracted from the documents.

researchers now have the option to access and work with all of OIDA’s 
raw data through Amazon Web Services

virtual environment.


“The volume of data can be overwhelming—how can researchers review 
millions of documents efficiently? We can help!” said Kevin Hawkins, 
OIDA program director for Johns Hopkins University. “The toolbox will 
continue to grow as users make requests and OIDA identifies new ways to 
engage with the data.”


The OIDA Toolbox promotes original scholarship in disciplines such as 
public health, communications, sociology, history, linguistics and 
computer science. Ultimately, discoveries from an OIDA data toolbox can 
help to improve and safeguard public policy and public health, and to 
ensure that the opioid-related harms that have taken place never occur 
again.

“Our ability to mine the documents for information that will assist the 
public health community should be greatly enhanced with this 
technology,” said Dr. Christopher K. Haddock, chief data and analytics 
officer and senior scientist at NDRI-USA, who is one of the first to try 
out these tools. He added, “You’ve already saved us months of work!”

was launched by UCSF and Johns Hopkins in March 2021 as a free public 
resource. The digital repository includes previously internal documents 
made public through legal settlements to enable multiple audiences to 
explore and investigate information which shines a light on the opioid 
crisis


The Archive contains more than 15.3 million pages in 3.4 million 
documents and is expected to continue to grow for years to come. 
Documents are full-text searchable and include an array of relevant 
materials from many different companies, including emails, memos, 
presentations, sales reports, budgets, audit reports, Drug Enforcement 
Administration briefings, meeting agendas and minutes, expert witness 
reports and trial transcripts.


OIDA may be of use to many different parties, including families harmed 
by the opioid crisis, as well as the media, health care practitioners, 
students, lawyers, and researchers. Major news outlets such as the 
Washington Post
