Personal Research:
Opioid Crisis & Solutions
I conducted personal research on the North American opioid crisis, focusing on fentanyl and its intersection with socioeconomic status, mental health comorbidities, and race and ethnicity. I proposed solutions such as income-based prevention measures, integrated treatment for substance use disorder and mental illness, culturally tailored programs for minority youth, and youth education as primary prevention. I presented my findings to three professors and over 30 peers, earning the Grand Prize and a $500 award at the Scholars Circle Research Summit.
