APPLICABLE MODELS
There are different interpretations on how to combat the growing opioid epidemic. Here are two unique models that differ in their responses, but both have promising framework none the less.
STANFORD MODEL : Researchers’ model could help stem opioid crisis
Increasing the availability of naloxone, cutting opioid prescriptions by 25 percent and expanding drug-treatment programs could reduce opioid-related deaths by 6,000 over 10 years, Stanford researchers estimate. Tom Abate “Researchers’ model could help stem opioid crisis” (2018) ~The model includes data about prescriptions, addictions and overdoses in the United States. It can be used to consider “what if” scenarios similar to those that business leaders run through to project how changing product features or prices are likely to affect sales and profits. ~An unique algorithm created by Stanford Researchers could hold the key to drastically reducing the opioid crisis. |
