Abstract

In recent years, opioid abuse has become one of the most severe social events in the United States. The number of deaths caused by opioid overdose in the United States has exceeded that of deaths caused by traffic accidents that led to the economic loss as high as 78.5 billion dollars. The opioid crisis has seriously hindered the socio-economic development of the United States, posing a great threat to the lives of the American people. Therefore, the most direct and scientific way to solve the opioid crisis is to study the factors that cause opioid abuse and formulate policies to prevent it. The paper establishes the discrete image model, the entropy model, the time series prediction model and the regression model and uses MATLAB, SPSS, Excel and other software, so as to formulate the strategies to prevent opioid abuse and conduct the test of their effectiveness.
