• Title: A Machine Learning Analysis of COVID-19 Mental Health Data
• Authors: Mostafa Rezapour, Lucas Hansen
• Abstract summary: In December 2019, the novel coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2) and the resulting disease COVID-19 were first identified in Wuhan China. In this paper, we analyze the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the mental health of frontline workers in the United States. Through the interpretation of the many models applied to the mental health survey data, we have concluded that the most important factor in predicting the mental health decline of a frontline worker is the healthcare role.

• Abstract: In late December 2019, the novel coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2) and the resulting disease COVID-19 were first identified in Wuhan China. The disease slipped through containment measures, with the first known case in the United States being identified on January 20th, 2020. In this paper, we utilize survey data from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research and apply several statistical and machine learning models and techniques such as Decision Trees, Multinomial Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, k-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks, Random Forests, Gradient Tree Boosting, XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, Synthetic Minority Oversampling, and Chi-Squared Test to analyze the impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the mental health of frontline workers in the United States. Through the interpretation of the many models applied to the mental health survey data, we have concluded that the most important factor in predicting the mental health decline of a frontline worker is the healthcare role the individual is in (Nurse, Emergency Room Staff, Surgeon, etc.), followed by the amount of sleep the individual has had in the last week, the amount of COVID-19 related news an individual has consumed on average in a day, the age of the worker, and the usage of alcohol and cannabis.

  Detection and intervention at an early stage can reduce the risk of depression in COVID-19 patients. We managed a dataset of COVID-19 patients that contains information about their social media activity both before and after infection. We conducted an extensive analysis of this dataset to investigate the characteristic of COVID-19 patients with a higher risk of depression.

  We use supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods and models to find out relationships between COVID-19 related negative effects and alcohol use changes in healthcare workers. Our findings suggest that some effects of the COVID-19 pandemic such as school closure, work schedule change and COVID-related news exposure may lead to an increase in alcohol use.

We forecast that % of the population having COVID-19-like illness (CLI) and those tested positive as 0.15% and 1.14% absolute error respectively.

  The outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been continuously affecting human lives and communities around the world. We used multiple data sources, i.e., PubMed and ArXiv, and built several machine learning models to characterize the landscape of current COVID-19 research. Our findings confirm the types of research available in PubMed and ArXiv differ significantly, with the former exhibiting greater diversity in terms of COVID-19 related issues.
