SSP Utilization Platform
What’s SUP?
The Syringe Service Program Utilization Platform (SUP) is a web-based, data collection tool housed within the Michigan Disease Surveillance System (MDSS) that collects client-level utilization and encounter data from syringe service program (SSP) partners in real-time. SUP is designed to be adapted to the unique needs of various service models and populations throughout the state. Aggregate data collected from the SUP can be used to inform state and regional harm reduction efforts.
