When it comes to identifying more than one person's risk of suicide, scientists have found that the risk of suicide is higher than the risk of suicide .The study, led by Boston university school of Public health (BUSPH) and published in JAMA Psychiatry, is the first to use data from a population of an entire country (Denmark) and a machine learning (ML) system to identify suicide. risk factors.
"Suicide is incredibly challenging, because every suicide is the result of multiple interacting risk factors," said lead study author Dr Jaimie Gradus, associate professor of epidemiology at BUSPH.
Dr Gradus and her colleagues looked at a number of factors that contributed to the 14,103 individuals who died from suicide in the country through 1995, and 265,183 other health histories in the same period, using a machine-learning system to look for. for patterns.
