Jane Timmons-Mitchell, senior research associate at the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education, collaborated with other authors to publish a piece titled “Digital conversations about suicide among teenagers and adults with epilepsy: A big-data, machine learning analysis”.
The study explored data from open-source digital conversations among people with epilepsy. Such conversations provide insight into concerns and struggles people with epilepsy face outside of clinical settings. The study used the data to compare teenagers and adults with regard to suicidality, and did so using machine-learning technology.
