Researchers Use AI To Analyze Drug-Use Narratives

In 2024 researchers analyzed Reddit and TikTok posts to study substance use, harm reduction and stigma, labeling 500 Reddit posts and applying machine learning to another 1,000 posts and 350 TikTok videos. They found forums often function as informal harm-reduction spaces, with 33.9% of TikTok recovery advocacy content and low proportions showing active use. Findings suggest AI-enabled monitoring can improve near-real-time public-health forecasting and stigma tracking.
