New paper!! On health justice, resource allocation, and age in suicide risk assessment. We argue that, in resource-limited healthcare systems, appropriately developed risk tools may support fairer allocation of clinical resources, especially for groups at highest risk.

Model performed well on multiple measures of performance.
