Primary Track: Applications
Programmatic Theme: Clinical Research Informatics

Stressful life events are important psychosocial predictors of health. In this project we use large language models to extract information about such events from health records. We were able to show that some events, such as divorce, may act as facilitators of screening, while others, such as arrest, act as barriers.
