Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

I will be using the information I have gathered through my internship with California Senator Mike McGuire. Specifically, the Senator has an ongoing project having to do with the opioid crisis taking place in Humboldt County. Humboldt County has more opioid prescriptions than residents. With 156,444 prescriptions in 2016, the rate was nearly 1,145 prescriptions per 1,000 residents. Senator Mike McGuire has hosted two town hall forums to bring awareness to the community and to discuss solutions in order to fix this epidemic that is affecting so many lives in the community we reside in.
