Don't Die High

Research notes

US-IL (City of Chicago). Discovered 2026-10-22 for #17 (local campaigns pass; method: od2a-grantee). Written as its own case because the CDPH page and the task force report document it well (the research row was snippet-level). Opened 2026-10-22: CDPH page (Wayback capture 2026-06-29, then live in the built-in browser): two-item message (fentanyl test strips and naloxone, free at all 81 Chicago Public Library branches, CDPH vending machines, sexual health clinics, select ward offices), six safe-use steps, Illinois Good Samaritan law, task force member list, media resources (four creative lines, each with Stories/Instagram/Facebook files). 2025 report (10 pp., December 2025, read in the browser because chicago.gov blocks scripts): authors from CDPH, Onyx Medical & Wellness and Chicago Black Gay Men's Caucus; 'Don't Die High Campaign Creative Director Jahari Stamps', 'Photographer Kenzo Cohen, Roc Star Studio'; task force re-established 2020, CDPH government co-chair; mentions a Don't Die High town hall. ABC7 (news; used only for the May 2024 launch date and the audience wording) calls it an ad campaign. Not found: funding source (the OD2A link in the research row is the city's grant status, not a stated funder), paid media buys, spend, reach. The campaign also covers methamphetamine and HIV prevention, so opioids is one topic among several. Executions listed are the sponsor's downloadable files; years for the three later lines unknown. Ad library search to try: 'Don't Die High', 'Chicago Department of Public Health'.
