Prevalence, associated factors, and machine learning-based prediction of depression, anxiety, and stress among university students: a cross-sectional study from Bangladesh
Integrating machine learning with conventional analyses enhances the identification and prediction of factors associated with depression, anxiety, and stress among university students. These findings support the implementation of campus-based mental health screening, accessible counseling, and peer support programs, and highlight the value of data-driven approaches for developing targeted university mental health policies.
