Project description
Tackling the societal challenge of young people’s harmful behaviour
Little is known about the complex interaction between the psychosocial and biological factors that cause harmful behaviour in adolescents, including substance abuse, depression, self-harm, and suicidal tendencies. To understand these behaviours, a framework was created that combines high-quality biological, environmental and social data across several developmental life stages. The ERC-funded LIFECOURSE-ABM project aims to take this framework one step further. It will build a computational infrastructure for the framework and create a fully digitised toolkit that benefits from digital automation, communication, and AI methods.
Objective
We, the LIFECOURSE team, have been developing a theoretical framework that combines biological, social, and psychological data into unified concepts over the past five years. We now have a combined biopsychosocial data framework that can be used to uncover and understand biosocial causal pathways to adolescent behaviour, including self-harm, suicide, substance-use, and delinquancy. To our knowledge, we possess the only linkage of high-quality biological, environmental, and social data across several developmental stages of life to matched longitudinal data (N=4000). In the proposed proof of concept we propose to build a computational infrastructure on this framework, creating a fully digitized toolkit that can benefit from digital automation, communication, and artificial intelligence methods. At the center of this strategy is a new detailed biopsychosocial computer simulation model. This first stage of development a proof of concept will already bring our data beyond current capabilities. We see this work as a necessary next step, taking the LIFECOUSE project beyond the state-of-the-art once again, with several fundamental implications and broad industrial, societal, and scientific impact.
