OUTBREAK OF DRUG USERS IN METRO MANILA

OUTBREAK OF DRUG USERS IN METRO MANILA

The effects of a 246-week outbreak of drug users among people in barangays of Metro Manila, Philippines were determined by simulating the minimum number of drug users; minimum number of weeks to influence at least 80 percent nondrug users; effects of the average contact of drug users with non-drug user friends, average parental guidance per contact with drug user friends, and average Police Officer visibility per round via Netlogo simulation for quick results of the study. Findings indicated that 8 drug-user friends can influence at least 80 percent nondrug user friends in 246 weeks. It also depicted that increasing the average contact period of drug users with non-drug users, may or may not influence in using drugs, and increasing the average parental guidance per contact with drug users, slightly decreases the spread of drug usage, however, increasing the Police Officer visibility per round, decreases the spread of drug usage.
