Assessing Racial Disparities in Healthcare Expenditures via Mediator Distribution Shifts.

Racial disparities in healthcare expenditures are well-documented, yet the underlying drivers remain complex. This study develops a framework to decompose such disparities through shifts in the distributions of mediating variables, rather than treating race itself as a manipulable exposure. We define disparities as differences in covariate-adjusted outcome distributions across racial groups, and d...

Predicting depressive symptoms among Chinese college students using recurrent neural networks with longitudinal data.

College students face a higher risk of depression than their non-college peers. However, the predictors of depressive symptoms among college students and their relative importance remain inconclusive. This study aimed to develop predictive models for depressive symptoms among Chinese undergraduate students using a four-year longitudinal dataset and to explore the importance ranking of predictive f...
