NIH grant awarded to University of Michigan at Ann Arbor to study warning signs within 24 hours of suicide attempts in hospitalized adults using mixed methods including natural language processing and deep learning, aiming to improve risk assessment and clinical decision-making.
Description
This NIH-funded project aims to develop innovative tools for early detection of suicidal risk through analysis of patient narratives and linguistic signals, with potential to inform clinical practice and automated risk identification. The study will recruit 400 adults hospitalized for a suicide attempt in two medical centers in the Upper Midwest. Data will include narrative stories and semi-structured interviews analyzed through qualitative and quantitative methods, including natural language processing and deep learning models.
