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

Conventional statistical methods have long been used to examine the predictors and outcomes of adolescent substance use [4]. However, these approaches often fall short in capturing complex, nonlinear relationships between variables. Therefore, with recent advancements, machine learning (ML) has introduced powerful tools capable of identifying complex patterns and relationships, offering a deeper understanding of adolescent substance use [5].
