This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $247,894 to Emory University to develop advanced AI-powered prediction models that integrate insights on loneliness and social isolation to enhance the precision of suicide risk assessment for older adult populations.

The key objectives of this 2-year project are to: 1) Create a novel tool to identify linguistic markers of loneliness and social isolation in electronic health record (EHR) data; 2) Integrate these insights into a suicide risk prediction model optimized for older adults; and 3) Comprehensively evaluate the bias and interpretability of the AI models. The project includes a $77,975 sub-award to the University of Southern California to contribute expertise in this area. The overarching goal is to foster more responsive and efficient learning healthcare systems by enhancing the use of EHR data for understanding and predicting risks linked to loneliness, social isolation, and late-life suicide.
