Artificial intelligence predicts adolescent mental health risk before symptoms emerge

Summary

Nutrition label

76% Informative

A new study demonstrates that artificial intelligence can identify adolescents at high risk for serious mental health problems before symptoms become severe.

This capability opens up the possibility of significantly improving access to mental health support, potentially making assessments and early interventions available through primary care doctors.

The scientists used data from a large, ongoing study called the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study .

The data came from a general population of teenagers, not specifically from young people already seeking mental health treatment.

Future research should also explore ways to make these prediction tools even more practical and accessible. This could involve identifying the smallest set of questionnaire questions needed to maintain accuracy, reducing the burden on individuals taking these assessments.
