v0.1.0

Initial Release

Description

This is the initial release of the oepsData R package. This package allows any researcher to easily load all of the data in our Opioid Environment Policy Scan (OEPS) data warehouse directly into their R environment. Full documentation for the package can be found at oepsdata.healthyregions.org.

Features

The package provides two primary functions:

• load_oeps
  • loads data variables for any scale (state, county, tract, zcta) for any of the available time periods ("latest", 2010, 2000, 1990, 1980).
  • optionally include a geometry column (500k boundaries from US Census Cartographic Boundaries files) to enable mapping
• load_oeps_dictionaries
  • loads data dictionaries to provide context and links to metadata for each variable.

And two secondary functions that may help with data wrangling:

• state_to_fips
  • takes a given state's name or abbreviation and returns the state's FIPS code.
• county_to_fips
  • takes a county's name and the FIPS of its state and returns the county level FIPS code.

OEPS Version: v2.0

This package loads data from the OEPS v2.0 release.
