illicit_drug

The demo application above shows an example of how to use the scores from the substance use illicit drug model to create attributes. In this example, “cocaine use” has a high use and abuse scores and is promoted to a DrugAbuse attribute by the cartridge scoring rules. The example also has a high stopped score which results in a value of former for the DrugAbuse attribute.

The usage section of the JSON response indicates how the substance use illicit drug applies to a patient.
