Using explainable machine learning to elucidate social and neurobehavioral risk factors linked to nonmedicinal opioid use in young adults Scientific Reports - Using explainable machine learning to elucidate social and neurobehavioral risk factors linked to nonmedicinal opioid use in young adults

We used machine learning to rank which social and neurobehavioral risk factors are linked to non-prescribed opioid use in young adults - the top ranked psychological variable predicting opioid use was higher loneliness! rdcu.be/eXFB8
