Data Visualizations with a Side of Storytelling

The Opioid Crisis

The more I dug, the more I wanted to explore all aspects of the crisis and the contributing factors. I ultimately wrote my honors thesis on this, doing an exploratory data analysis to answer the question: What were the primary driving factors behind the opioid epidemic in the United States?
