The article mentions sensitivity, but I’m also curious about this method’s specificity too…

Yes it sounds like people came in at high risk of suicide and then they gave them an app that surveyed them and would predict they were going to commit suicide. Given they were at high risk for suicide attempts, how does this compare to just predicting the people would always try to commit suicide in the following week?

I also wonder if having to answer this daily annoying survey a actually make you more wanting to kill yourself...
