👇 we leveraged a large language model (ChatGPT-like) approach to identify infrequent circumstances preceding female firearm suicide deaths in unstructured coroner/medical examiner and law enforcement incident narrative data (e.g., sleep problems, dementia, sexual violence).
JMIR Mental Health: Identifying Rare Circumstances Preceding Female Firearm Suicides: Validating A Large Language Model #Approach dlvr.it/SxZ2ts
Our large language model approach outperformed a conventional NLP/supervised machine learning approach by a wide margin. 👀This suggests that large language models can be used to unlock textual analysis in public health research. @lauracprater
We're on the lookout for collaborative colleagues with expertise in behavioral econ, decision science, or related fields, e.g., social psychology, judgment & decision-making, experimental and neuroeconomics, to join us in beautiful Utah! Info 👇! #EconTwitter #BehavioralScience
📢 Join Our Team! Passionate about #BehavioralEconomics and #DecisionSciences? We're on the lookout for collaborative colleagues driving innovative research in these fields. Work with amazing faculty at @UofUPHS @UofUHealth. Apply at bit.ly/BEJob23

I mentioned that our firearm homicide rate is more than 100x higher than that of England + Wales. But high firearm homicides drive up our overall homicide rate, making the US a stark outlier among developed nations.

A sobering thread 👇 (although not surprising). We have much work to do across multiple determinants of health.
NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.
1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.
In this in-press @AmJPrevMed paper, we (@lauracprater, myself, and awesome team) developed a straightforward/conventional NLP pipeline to classify circumstances preceding female firearm suicide deaths using incident narratives from NVDRS.

Certain machine learning algorithms performed better than others. But our experience demonstrated the need to balance resource-intensive NLP dev w/ other approaches for public health practice. We thank @GunResearch for supporting this research.
More findings forthcoming!
In this @Health_Affairs Forefront article, we discuss the potential policy implications of public detachment and desensitization to firearm violence, as well as evidence and recommendations for policy researchers, media, and clinicians. 👇
In their new Forefront article, @evangoldstein + @lauracprater of @UUtah + @UW discuss how firearm violence in the US + the endless stream of media coverage about firearm violence may be fatiguing the US public to remain politically activated. #GunControl bit.ly/3EuHQjT
👏🙌 @JoshJPharmD — our PhD students are such awesome researchers and people!
Josh Jacobs, PHS PhD student, will spend the summer working at the NIH side-by-side with some of the world's leading scientists, in an environment devoted exclusively to biomedical research - Congrats, Josh!

Be sure to check out the latest (awesome) issue of AJPM Focus, including our paper, "Hispanic Immigrants and Suicide: Overcoming Data Challenges in an Anti-immigrant Climate" 👇
Our second full issue is now out! Read #OpenAccess research on topics ranging from #intersectional disparities in cervical cancer screening to #disparities predicting postpartum weight retention to a healthy eating intervention in Navajo schools:

Same. Feeling inspired! Much more good, hard work ahead.
Agree with this - good vibes and good times with some of my favorite peeps at the first annual #2022FirearmResearchConf in DC - looking forward to Chi in 2023!

This guesstimate that 40% of U.S. adults are military veterans is WILD.
With better data and creatively using existing data, the scientific community can play a crucial role in understanding the burden of suicide/identifying critical suicide risk factors among Hispanic immigrants amid the rise in anti-immigrant attitudes.
