This page highlights Dr. Hoffer\u2019s work integrating agent-based modeling (ABM), ethnographic and epidemiological research to study drug addiction. By merging these methods, the objective is to reproduce the dynamics of: 1) substance use disorder, 2) illegal drug acquisition and market operations, as well as 3) other outcomes associated with drug use behavior. The computational models discussed are both informed by and intended to reproduce contexts in which drug users interact, as well as the environments in which they use drugs.<\/p>\n
