| Core Tip |
Current screening for adolescent depression relies heavily on subjective questionnaires. To address this, we developed a multimodal protocol combining the Chinese Secondary School Students Depression Scale with objective facial and vocal data to improve detection. Our analysis showed that extreme gradient boosting outperformed other machine learning models under both multimodal and bimodal settings, achieving superior performance across multiple metrics. Statistical comparisons confirmed that the multimodal extreme gradient boosting model significantly surpassed its bimodal counterpart, demonstrating the advantage of integrating subjective scales with objective data to enhance the accuracy and robustness of depression screening in Chinese adolescents. Further validation in diverse populations is warranted. |
