Description
Study both mobile and desktop versions to identify what is useful/theft-worthy to adapt vs. improveable:
**SAMHSA's Find Treatment Locator**
1. Go to https://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/locator
2. Type "Philadelphia, PA, USA" in the search bar
3. Experiment with 2 location options:
[ ] County (just Philadelphia: this limit made sense when we were focused on serving HFP/PDPH)
[ ] Distance: 15 mi (maybe more practical for referrals than limiting to just city boundaries)
4. Uncheck "SU & MH" and check "SU" [substance use], then **click the dropdown carat next to "SU"** to explore analogs to our **mobile X-4** mockup
5. Check "Buprenorphine Practitioners" to add their dots to the map and see listings

- [ ] Study mobile layouts & functionality
MOUD (Medications for Opioid Use Disorder) Locator, Washington Recovery Help Line
http://www.warecoveryhelpline.org/moud-locator/
Three theft-worthy features in opening desktop version of WA MOUD:
- Adapt CONTENT of their opening filters for ours? (two desktop screenshots below)
- Emulate more INVITING/RELATABLE address of their opening filters (vs. SAMHSA's more detached approach)?
> ["I'm seeking the following medication..." | "I can pay with..." | etc.](https://www.dropbox.com/s/n28716wena344mu/Screenshot%202021-01-25%2016.32.46.png?dl=0)
> ["I am also interested in the following services..."](https://www.dropbox.com/s/4m3du7k6jphb43l/Screenshot%202021-01-25%2016.33.05.png?dl=0)
- Offer language translation options? If simple, include 1-3 options for Philly (Spanish, others TBD), otherwise just include on future wishlist
- [ ] Study mobile layouts & functionality

Research direction
Review the linked SAMHSA Find Treatment Locator and Washington Recovery Help Line, using the supplied desktop screenshots as references. Compare their desktop and mobile layouts, filters, map behavior, and translation options with the mobile X-4 mockup. Done should be a documented set of prioritized features to adapt, improve, or defer.
