Abstract

Suicide is a complex phenomenon that is often not preceded by a diagnosed mental health condition, therefore making it difficult to study and mitigate. Artificial Intelligence has increasingly been used to better understand Social Determinants of Health factors that influence suicide outcomes. In this review we find that many studies use limited SDoH information and minority groups are often underrepresented, thereby omitting important factors that could influence risk of suicide.
