What this trial studies
This observational study aims to gather data to enhance machine learning models for an application designed to detect mental health and suicidal risks early. Participants include clients receiving services from mental health professionals in school or outpatient settings, as well as college/university counseling centers. The study focuses on individuals aged 8 and older who can provide informed consent or parental permission. Data will be collected through the MHSAFE app, which records relevant information to optimize risk assessment algorithms.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals aged 8 and older currently receiving mental health services in educational or outpatient settings.
Not a fit: Patients with communication disorders or serious medical/psychiatric conditions that hinder participation may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection of mental health issues and suicidal risks, potentially saving lives.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies focusing on mental health risk detection, the specific use of machine learning models in this context is relatively novel.
