Risk Factors for opioid relapse differ between men and women

Article Excerpt: A new USC study finds that risk factors for relapse following treatment for opioid use disorder vary significantly by gender, a discovery that may result in better targeted treatment with lasting results.

In addition, they believe machine learning approaches should be more widely integrated into addiction research to better understand the complexities of how demographic, psychological and behavioral variables may increase the odds of relapse.
