- Mental illness risk prediction in high school students using artificial neural networkPublication . Encarnação, Samuel; Vaz, Paula Fortunato; Vaz, Filipe; Fortunato, Álvaro; Monteiro, António Miguel de BarrosIntroduction: The sustainable development goals of the United Nations 2030 agenda, goal number 3 – Good health and well-being- align with student mental health. Objective: To conduct an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the students' self-reported mental health dimensions. Methods: A cross-sectional and observational study enrolling sociodemographic and health state data from 2050 university students aged (18–30 years). Results: The best algorithm's result was by predicting the students' depressive state with 97 % accuracy (weighted average = [precision = 0.79 %, recall = 0.79 %, F-1 score 0 0.79 %, cross-validation (73 %)]), while dimensions such overall mental health self-perception (validation accuracy = 60 %) and lack of interest in performing their activities of daily living [(ADLs), validation accuracy = 67 %], presented inferior predictions. Conclusions: The ANN best predicted the university students' depressive state (73 %).
