Prescription Stimulants SEIR Model

Stimulant abuse on college campuses is a generally under-researched topic. We aim to represent stimulant use and abuse on college campuses using a mathematical model that looks specifically at how stimulants spread among the population. We designed a system of differential equations. In phase II we will collect data and fit the data to our model. Using these results, we hope to continue to gain a better understanding of stimulant use/abuse on college campuses and hope to propose policies for prevention.
