Predicting mental health disparities using machine learning for African Americans in Southeastern Virginia.

Scientific reports
This study examined mental health disparities among African Americans using AI and machine learning for outcome prediction. Analyzing data from African American adults (18-85) in Southeastern Virginia (2016-2020), we found Mood Affective Disorders we...

Predicting the risk of diabetes complications using machine learning and social administrative data in a country with ethnic inequities in health: Aotearoa New Zealand.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In the age of big data, linked social and administrative health data in combination with machine learning (ML) is being increasingly used to improve prediction in chronic disease, e.g., cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In this study we aime...

Identifying Potential Factors Associated With Racial Disparities in COVID-19 Outcomes: Retrospective Cohort Study Using Machine Learning on Real-World Data.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Racial disparities in COVID-19 incidence and outcomes have been widely reported. Non-Hispanic Black patients endured worse outcomes disproportionately compared with non-Hispanic White patients, but the epidemiological basis for these obse...

Geographic inequities in neonatal survival in Nigeria: a cross-sectional evidence from spatial and artificial neural network analyses.

Journal of biosocial science
This study was conducted to provide empirical evidence of geographical variations of neonatal mortality and its associated social determinants with a view to improving neonatal survival at the subnational level in Nigeria. With a combination of spati...

Health inequities, bias, and artificial intelligence.

Techniques in vascular and interventional radiology
Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain leads to significant healthcare utilization, decreased productivity, and disability globally. Due to its complex etiology, MSK pain is often chronic and challenging to manage effectively. Disparities in pain management-infl...

Opportunities and shortcomings of AI for spatial epidemiology and health disparities research on aging and the life course.

Health & place
Established spatial and life course methods have helped epidemiologists and health and medical geographers study the impact of individual and area-level determinants on health disparities. While these methods are effective, the emergence of Geospatia...

Use of artificial intelligence to address health disparities in low- and middle-income countries: a thematic analysis of ethical issues.

Public health
OBJECTIVES: Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping health and medicine, especially through its potential to address health disparities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, there are several issues associated with the use of AI tha...

Estimating substance use disparities across intersectional social positions using machine learning: An application of group-lasso interaction network.

Psychology of addictive behaviors : journal of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors
OBJECTIVE: An aim of quantitative intersectional research is to model the joint impact of multiple social positions on health risk behaviors. Although moderated multiple regression is frequently used to pursue intersectional research hypotheses, such...

Assessing fairness in machine learning models: A study of racial bias using matched counterparts in mortality prediction for patients with chronic diseases.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Existing approaches to fairness evaluation often overlook systematic differences in the social determinants of health, like demographics and socioeconomics, among comparison groups, potentially leading to inaccurate or even contradictory c...

Exploring the Association Between Structural Racism and Mental Health: Geospatial and Machine Learning Analysis.

JMIR public health and surveillance
BACKGROUND: Structural racism produces mental health disparities. While studies have examined the impact of individual factors such as poverty and education, the collective contribution of these elements, as manifestations of structural racism, has b...
