Predicting Depression and Anxiety Risk in Dutch Neighborhoods from Street-View Images ...

Depression and anxiety disorders are prevalent mental health challenges affecting a substantial segment of the global population. In this study, we explored the environmental correlates of these disorders by analyzing street-view images (SVI) of neighborhoods in the Netherlands. Our dataset comprises 9,879 Dutch SVIs sourced from Google Street View, paired with statistical depression and anxiety risk metrics from the Dutch Health Monitor. To tackle this challenge, we refined two existing neural network architectures, DeiT Base and ResNet50. Our goal was to predict neighborhood risk levels, cat... Mehr ...

Depression and anxiety disorders are prevalent mental health challenges affecting a substantial segment of the global population. In this study, we explored the environmental correlates of these disorders by analyzing street-view images (SVI) of neighborhoods in the Netherlands. Our dataset comprises 9,879 Dutch SVIs sourced from Google Street View, paired with statistical depression and anxiety risk metrics from the Dutch Health Monitor. To tackle this challenge, we refined two existing neural network architectures, DeiT Base and ResNet50. Our goal was to predict neighborhood risk levels, categorized into four tiers from low to high risk, using the raw images. The results showed that DeiT Base and ResNet50 achieved accuracies of 43.43% and 43.63%, respectively. Notably, a significant portion of the errors were between adjacent risk categories, resulting in adjusted accuracies of 83.55% and 80.38%. We also implemented the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method on both models and employed gradient ...
