BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created high levels of psychological distress and may have increased suicide risk. METHODS We used the 4-item Ask Suicide-Screening Questions (ASQ) to assess risk among all patients 12 24 years age at a children’s hospital. compared demographics, encounter type (telehealth or face-to-face [F2F]), screening results from April June 2020 (T2) those (T1). RESULTS Fewer were seen T2 than T1 (17 986 vs 863). A greater proportion visits by telehealth (0% 43%). rate positive screens was higher in (12.2% 11.1%, adjusted odds ration [aOR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15–1.35). screen for older (aOR 1.12 years; CI, 1.10–1.14), female (aOR, 2.23; 2.00–2.48), with public versus private insurance 1.88; 1.72–2.07), lower Black White 0.85; 0.77–0.95). Rates highest inpatients (20.0%), intermediate emergency department (14.4%), lowest outpatient clinics (9.9%) (P &lt; .05).

An NLP approach to identify SDoH-related circumstance and suicide crisis from death investigation narratives

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 30(8), P. 1408 - 1417

Published: April 11, 2023

Abstract Objectives Suicide presents a major public health challenge worldwide, affecting people across the lifespan. While previous studies revealed strong associations between Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and suicide deaths, existing evidence is limited by reliance on structured data. To resolve this, we aim to adapt suicide-specific SDoH ontology (Suicide-SDoHO) use natural language processing (NLP) effectively identify individual-level SDoH-related social risks from death investigation narratives. Materials Methods We used latest National Violent Death Report System (NVDRS), which contains 267 804 victim data 2003 2019. After adapting Suicide-SDoHO, developed transformer-based model circumstances crises in applied our retrospectively annotate narratives whose crisis variables were not coded NVDRS. The rates calculated as percentage group’s total population with present. Results Suicide-SDoHO 57 fine-grained hierarchical structure. Our classifier achieves AUCs 0.966 0.942 for classifying crises, respectively. Through trend analysis, observed that everyone equally affected risks. For economic stability crisis, result showed significant increase rate 2007–2009, parallel Great Recession. Conclusions This first study curating using showcased can classify through NLP approaches. hope will facilitate understanding inform effective prevention strategies.

Adverse Childhood Experiences, Race/Ethnicity, and Suicidality Among Florida High School Students

Youth & Society, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 18, 2025

Previous studies have well-documented that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with negative health outcomes, including suicidal thoughts and behaviors. As historically marginalized groups long experienced poorer socio-emotional outcomes due to systemic institutional racism, racial stress, related factors, surprisingly little is known about how ACEs matter across racial/ethnic adolescent groups. This study aims fill this gap by analyzing data from the 2022 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey (FYSAS). Utilizing logistic regression models, we investigate influence Results reveal a significant link between these indicating higher ACE scores correlate increased risk of attempts. Racial/ethnic variations in effects on suicidality observed among non-Hispanic Black Hispanic/Latinx youth. We also find despite generally experiencing fewer ACEs, Asian American youth were nearly 30% more likely than White
