Machine Learning Models Analyze a Mass of Complex Data to Pick Out Key Predictors of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Cannabis

The frequency of substance use, early age of initiation, and cannabis-related memory impairments are among the primary factors contributing to driving under the influence, according to a new analysis using machine learning. Impaired driving is known to be influenced by a range of behavioral, demographic, and contextual factors. Most research has explored several of these at a time--alcohol use patterns, socioeconomic status, peer influences, and so on-- in analyses that cannot fully capture the multidimensional and interconnected array of influences. For the study in Alcohol: Clinical & Experimental Research, investigators used two machine learning algorithms to identify the most salient predictive factors.
