Genomic PressSep 24 2024 In a groundbreaking study published in Brain Medicine , UCI researchers have uncovered a striking correlation between internet searches for ADHD medications and actual prescription rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. This finding opens up new possibilities for using online search data to predict and prevent prescription drug shortages.
Our findings suggest that Google Trends data could serve as a real-time proxy for prescription drug usage, especially during rapidly changing public health situations. This approach could be invaluable when actual prescription data is not immediately available." The research team employed sophisticated analytical techniques, including cross-correlation analysis and k-medoids clustering, to identify trends and subtrends in the search data.
