Project Summary
This team explored the United States full-blown crisis in opioid overuse, analysing the mental models responsible. Two of their key insights were: 1) Tax addictive opioids, the governemtn subsidised addicative opiods by sponsoring them through government insurers and 2) Community partnerships to reduce fear and Stigma, it will take a community-wide effort and work at the national, state, and local levels to adequately address the problem.
