A multilevel scenario based predictive analytics framework to model the community mental health and built environment nexus

Abstract The built environment affects mental health outcomes, but this relationship is less studied and understood. This article proposes a novel multi-level scenario-based predictive analytics framework (MSPAF) to explore the complex relationships between community mental health outcomes and the b...
