The demo application above shows an example of how to use the scores from the substance use tobacco model to create attributes. In this example, “quit smoking” has a high use score and is promoted to a TobaccoUse attribute by the cartridge scoring rules. The example also has a high current score which results in a value of current for the TobaccoUse attribute.

The usage section of the JSON response indicates how the tobacco use applies to a patient.
