Adulterant Study of the Illicit Opioids and Stimulants

The project is to analyze the emerging drug adulterants in the illicit opioids and stimulant supply in Canada and the U.S. The main goal is to use regression model to visualize projected fatalities due to these potent adulterants. Students are expected to analyze highly heterogenous data and simplify it for the public and policy makers. The outcome of this project is that students understand the complexity and the urgency of the current toxic drug crisis in North America and can help us present this context in a way that policymakers and public understand.
