Our State-of-the-Art Approach
We use a data science perspective based on real-time updates to machine learning algorithms, so each new observation helps calibrate and improve our prediction model.
RAMS' Competitive Advantage
Capitalizing on recent technological advancements combined with traditional psychometric research and analysis, RAMS offers a unique risk assessment system that draws on classic principles of measurement and validation embedded within a data science perspective. This includes:
- customized scoring as a function of individual characteristics;
- harnessing scientific inquiry principles to build a valid prediction model for prevention, addiction, relapse, and recovery;
- the ability to track change-over-time through repeated assessments, which serves as an “early warning system;” and
- a focus on both the individual and groups of individuals nested within communities.

The Value of RAMS
This highly-customizable instrument can be tailored to gather information on various populations and communities. Able to collect and analyze individual and aggregate-level data, RAMS:
- assists providers in determining appropriate levels of treatment and care;
- provides predictive analysis on individual and systems-wide treatment outcomes;
- lays out the most effective and efficient recovery pathway, from both an individual and systems-wide perspective; and
- informs providers and policymakers on resource allocation and use across systems.
RAMS: A tool to help policymakers and providers promote prevention, decrease addiction and relapse, and reduce the social as well as economic impact of abuse, addiction and relapse.
