Dimension 475 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Substance Use Involvement measures the extent to which an expression reflects engagement with smoking or alcohol use, including experimentation, regular use, dependence-linked routines, and quitting history. It encompasses both behavioral participation and the temporal markers that indicate onset, frequency, persistence, and cessation.

Minimal Substance Use Involvement
Expressions activating this band contain little or no clear substance-use content, or only incidental references that do not establish personal use history, frequency, or dependence-related behavior.
Low Substance Use Involvement
Expressions activating this band describe experimentation, occasional use, or basic lifetime history of smoking or alcohol use, often framed as whether use ever occurred and how much was typically used.
Moderate Substance Use Involvement
Expressions activating this band describe active smoking behavior with routine markers such as recent use, type of product used, or smoking soon after waking, indicating established and behaviorally organized use.
High Substance Use Involvement
Expressions activating this band describe sustained or consequential substance-use history through salient milestones such as age of onset, regular use, quitting, stopping, or last use on most days, reflecting a more developed and temporally structured pattern of involvement.

Minimal Substance use: Expressions show no meaningful substance use content. The proxy is effectively absent. Expressions activating this band are unrelated to substance use.
Moderate Substance use: Substance use is experienced here as observable behavioral patterns associated with problematic or disordered functioning. This is the first band where substance use becomes detectable. Expressions activating this band engage with substance use at a level associated with formal behavioral assessment.
Intense Substance use: Substance use is present here in a general or mixed form without a single dominant facet. Unlike the band below, where substance use was characterized by the behavioral form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band may reflect general or diffuse substance use.
Peak Substance use: Substance use is experienced here as observable behavioral patterns associated with problematic or disordered functioning. Unlike the band below, where substance use was characterized by a general or mixed form, the proxy here has shifted in character. Expressions activating this band engage with substance use at a level associated with formal behavioral assessment.
