NIH awarded a project to analyze polysubstance use and overdose risk using advanced machine learning techniques, aiming to improve prevention and intervention efforts.
Description
This NIH-funded project focuses on understanding the risk factors and trajectories of polysubstance use and overdose through sophisticated statistical and machine learning models, with a goal to improve prevention and intervention efforts. The study leverages data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) and involves multilevel modeling, Bayesian inference, and survival analysis to inform targeted public health interventions and overdose prevention strategies.
