Despite their link to later outcomes, research on initial episodes of AMH outcomes is limited. This study aims to use administrative data to identify the factors associated with the first healthcare encounters with indicators of homelessness (FHE-H) for individuals diagnosed with AMH. We assessed logistic regression and compared its performance with machine learning models, including random forests and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost). We conducted a retrospective cohort study linking several administrative datasets for 232,253 individuals with Alberta health insurance in Calgary, Canada, who were aged between 18 and 65 and diagnosed with AMH between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2018. We assessed outcomes in two years following cohort entry. Individuals with episodes of FHE-H (2,606 individuals) before the index date were excluded. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with outcomes by estimating adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confidence intervals. Among 229,647 individuals diagnosed with AMH, 1,886 (0.82%) experienced FHE-H during the follow-up period. Mental health emergency visits (AORs=5.28 [95% CI: 4.41, 6.33]), substance misuse (AORs=3.87 [95% CI: 3.28, 4.56], substance use disorders (AORs=2.03 [95% CI: 1.64, 2.50]), and male sex (AORs=1.28 [95% CI: 1.14, 1.44]) were associated with FHE-H. XGBoost performance improved over logistic regression, with increases in area under the curve (AUC) by 1% and precision by 2%. Overall, several AMH features were associated with FHE-H, and machine learning models outperformed logistic regression, although to a small degree.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pdig.0001064","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,31]],"date-time":"2025-10-31T17:34:53Z","timestamp":1761932093000},"page":"e0001064","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pdig.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Risk factors and predictive performance for first healthcare encounter indicating homelessness using administrative data among Calgary residents diagnosed with addiction or mental health conditions"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5745-4300","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Faezehsadat","family":"Shahidi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5421-3536","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M.
