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

Our study identified several important predictors and risk factors for concurrent use of methamphetamine and alcohol. Due to our study's low rate for the outcome of interest, future studies should further investigate risk factors and targeted interventions should be put into place to mitigate risky behaviors.

Our study identified several important predictors and risk factors for concurrent use of methamphetamine and alcohol. Due to our study's low rate for the outcome of interest, future studies should further investigate risk factors and targeted interventions should be put into place to mitigate risky behaviors.
