Supremely talented doctoral student Halle Fowler is hoping to put together an ABCT panel related to Deaf and Hard of Hearing suicide prevention or mental health. We have multiple qualitative and quantitative studies on DHH interpretation in mental health settings. We need help finding panelists!

Lab thesis presentations this semester include a linguistic analysis of ASL suicide risk interpretations, experimental investigation of single session interventions to increase help-seeking, and ambulatory assessment of suicide ideation vulnerability in sexual minority folks! Such cool work!

Reflecting the efforts of so many - most importantly our study participants who gave their time to help others - I'm thrilled to share the results of our RCT evaluating the effectiveness of the #SafetyPlanningIntervention for #SuicidePrevention in the year after jail release.

My lab is a touch late to using OSF! Anyone have an OSF page they are particularly proud of their organization and willing to share?? Already a touch overwhelmed with how to keep it organized. Thanks!!!

"So you want me to meditate everytime Im hopeless... ill be meditating all day" My team gets this type of comment when doing suicide safety planning all the time. So when "should" someone thinking about suicide use a coping skill? ideaiton intensity changes? A warning sign gets worse?

Based in part off of Dr. Diamond's awesome review (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...), my lab is trying to do more in SGM suicide than throwing minority stress variables into models. anyone out there testing felt sense of social safety?! We have EMA items but want to be thoughtful on measurement

New blog post in which I discuss measurement invariance from a causal perspective. Come for the amateurish featured image (who needs photoshop anyway), stay for fancy Pooh as figure label. Bonus: You'll finally understand the different levels of invariance (I hope). www.the100.ci/2024/01/10/a...

When do college students with recent suicidal thoughts naturalistically use the Virtual Hope Box? When they experience increased suicidal desire. Most used app at least once after introduction in this EMA study! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sl…

Need some more time to unpack this great study on missing data in ema. psyarxiv.com/7yfhp/ maybe within person changes in psychological states are not related to missing prompts! Previous completion time/time in study more closely related to missingness! I still have a ton to learn with this method.

Ok… so maybe here I can transform my science lurking ways and actually post stuff other than my dogs or pop punk covers of hit songs… I’m going to try!
