Development of a Cohesive Predictive Model for Substance Use Disorder Rehabilitation Using Passive Digital Biomarkers, Psychological Assessments, and Automated Facial Emotion Recognition: Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study.

JMIR research protocols
BACKGROUND: Substance use disorder (SUD) involves excessive substance consumption and persistent reward-seeking behaviors, leading to serious physical, cognitive, and social consequences. This disorder is a global health crisis tied to increased mort...

The risk factors for relapse behavior in individuals with substance use disorders: An interpretable machine learning study.

Journal of affective disorders
BACKGROUND: Substance abuse has become a serious public health problem worldwide, and finding effective prevention and treatment strategies is undoubtedly an urgent need. This study addresses the risk factors that lead to relapse behaviors among subs...

Large-Scale Deep Learning-Enabled Infodemiological Analysis of Substance Use Patterns on Social Media: Insights From the COVID-19 Pandemic.

JMIR infodemiology
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic intensified the challenges associated with mental health and substance use (SU), with societal and economic upheavals leading to heightened stress and increased reliance on drugs as a coping mechanism. Centers for Di...

Changes in recreational drug use, reasons for those changes and their consequence during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK.

Comprehensive psychiatry
Changes in drug use in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic and their long-term consequences are not well understood. We employed natural language processing and machine learning to analyse a large dataset of self-reported rates of and...

Improving diagnosis-based quality measures: an application of machine learning to the prediction of substance use disorder among outpatients.

BMJ open quality
OBJECTIVE: Substance use disorder (SUD) is clinically under-detected and under-documented. We built and validated machine learning (ML) models to estimate SUD prevalence from electronic health record (EHR) data and to assess variation in facility-lev...

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Substance Use in Adolescents in Three Independent Worldwide Cohorts: Algorithm Development and Validation Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: To address gaps in global understanding of cultural and social variations, this study used a high-performance machine learning (ML) model to predict adolescent substance use across three national datasets.

Machine learning to detect recent recreational drug use in intensive cardiac care units.

Archives of cardiovascular diseases
BACKGROUND: Although recreational drug use is a strong risk factor for acute cardiovascular events, systematic testing is currently not performed in patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units, with a risk of underdetection. To address this iss...

Predictors of treatment attrition among individuals in substance use disorder treatment: A machine learning approach.

Addictive behaviors
BACKGROUND: Early treatment discontinuation in substance use disorder treatment settings is common and often difficult to predict. We leveraged a machine learning approach (i.e., random forest) to identify individuals at risk for treatment attrition,...

Rapid detection of drug abuse via tear analysis using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy and machine learning.

Scientific reports
With the growing global challenge of drug abuse, there is an urgent need for rapid, accurate, and cost-effective drug detection methods. This study introduces an innovative approach to drug abuse screening by quickly detecting ephedrine (EPH) in tear...

Predicting drug craving among ketamine-dependent users through machine learning based on brain structural measures.

Progress in neuro-psychopharmacology & biological psychiatry
BACKGROUND: Craving is a core factor driving drug-seeking and -taking, representing a significant risk factor for relapse. This study aims to identify neuroanatomical biomarkers for quantifying and predicting craving.
