WVU gathers data that will help fight opioid crisis

West Virginia University researchers are charting public policy model to address state’s opioid crisis. The university said on its website that, they’re setting out to collect data from all 55 counties. With funding from the National Science Foundation, the study focuses on two areas — supply and demand. The supply side involves law enforcement efforts to curtail drug activity. Demand centers on health care and social services. Researchers expect to see differences in county approaches depending on geographic location.
