The Search for the Holy Grail: Advances in Near-Term Suicide Risk Prediction

Friday, May 25, 2018 · San Francisco, CA

Oral · Clinical Science

Despite 50+ years of research into suicide risk detection, most methods are no better than chance at predicting near-term suicide risk. This symposium will review the challenges of accurate suicide risk detection and will propose a novel model to uncover the "holy grail" of near-term suicide prediction and prevention.
