• Authors: Mostafa Rezapour (The Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Wake Forest University)
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: In this paper, we analyze some effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare workers. We specifically focus on alcohol consumption habit changes among healthcare workers using a mental health survey data obtained from the University of Michigan Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. We use supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods and models such as Decision Trees, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes classifier, k-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machines, Multilayer perceptron, Random Forests, XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, Synthetic Minority Oversampling, Chi-Squared Test and mutual information method 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.

  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.
