A random forest analysis identifying important predictors and risk factors among those who reported use of methamphetamine during their last alcohol use: a national analysis between 2021-2023

The authors aimed to identify risk factors for concurrent use of methamphetamine and alcohol using data from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health between 2021 and 2023. They found that significant predictors included income, driving under the influence of any drug, and perceived health status, highlighting the need for further investigation into these risk factors and the development of targeted interventions to reduce risky behaviors.
