Conventional unstructured interviews can produce biased interpretations, symptom-order effects, and over- or under-diagnosis across disorders. Evidence-based strategies and computational advances enable algorithmic prediction, where simpler models can match expert clinicians. The work evaluates machine-learning models such as SVM and Random Forest alongside statistical approaches, addressing predictive accuracy, generalizability, complexity, implementation cost, and clinical workflow feasibility for identifying mood, trauma, and behavior disorders.","Comparing Machine Learning to Evidence-Based Decision-Making Techniques for Identification of Mood, Trauma, and Behavior Disorders  \nZhuoyu Shi  \nAdvisor: Dr. Eric Youngstrom  \nCommittee Members: Dr. Aysenil Belger & Dr. Oscar Gonzalez Department of Psychology and Neuroscience  \nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill  \nAcknowledgments  \nThis research was supported in part by a grant from the Lindquist Undergraduate Research Award.  \nFirst of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation here to Dr. Eric Youngstrom, for his supervision on this project and his support throughout my undergraduate education.

I wish you all the best in the future.  \nIntroduction  \nDiagnosis stands as a pivotal step in clinical practice, shaping the entire trajectory of patient care (Youngstrom, 2013) . It serves not only as the foundation for all subsequent clinical decisions, including therapy and treatment strategy selection, but also as a determining factor of treatment efficacy and patient outcomes. Thus, accuracy and consensus on diagnosis are imperative for consistent treatment approaches and positive clinical outcomes, making reliable diagnostic decisions critical in ensuring coherent and effective clinical activities. Although diagnostic decision-making lays the foundation for patient care, current diagnostic approaches have significant drawbacks (Mokros et al., 2018) . The most popular approach right now is unstructured clinical interviews (Jones, 2010), which rely on the clinician's intuition and personal experience to detect and interpret patient situations. While this approach can sometimes efficiently decompose complex data into actionable insights, it can lead to biased results (Jenkins & Youngstrom, 2016) and cause the overdiagnosis of certain conditions and the underestimation of others (Jensen-Doss et al., 2014) . Furthermore, even the order of patient symptoms reported to clinicians can affect the diagnosis (Cwik & Margraf, 2017) . Rather than making decisions through the lens of intuitive impressions, clinicians are encouraged to employ more complicated decision-making strategies and algorithms, which can analyze patient data comprehensively and enhance the reliability and accuracy of clinical decisions.  \nThe development of statistical and computational innovations has remarkably transformed the landscape of clinical diagnosis with evidence-based precision. Research has demonstrated that even simple algorithms can match or even outperform experienced clinicians (Ægisdóttir et al., 2006) . A diverse array of methods, ranging from traditional statistical approaches like Bayes theorem (Ledley & Lusted, 1959) to cutting-edge machine","cbCaia7bXPIqv9jh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia7bXPIqv9jh","pdf",399421,6,1,28,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Limitations of unstructured clinical interviews\n## Evidence-based and algorithmic diagnostic approaches\n## Evaluation factors for clinical performance\n# Comparative modeling for pediatric bipolar disorder\n## Assessment methods and model complexity","[{\"question\":\"Why is diagnosis accuracy so critical in clinical practice?\",\"answer\":\"Diagnosis sets the trajectory of patient care by shaping therapy choice and influencing treatment efficacy and patient outcomes.
