Inside the Research

Suicidal behaviors are a major public health issue. Genetic data from over one million participants will be examined to understand molecular dynamics and epidemiological relationships linking suicidal behaviors to brain structure and function, behavioral health, and other clinical outcomes. By using a state-of-the-art framework, this project will build high-performance machine learning models to predict the risk of suicide ideation and attempt. The expected results will contribute to preventive strategies to identify individuals at high suicide risk.
