Our team generally contributes to four areas of the suicidology literature: What Suicidal Thoughts Are and How They Should Be Assessed. Suicide Risk in Underserved Populations. Clinical Tools for the Assessment and Brief Treatment of Suicide Risk: Decision Making Regarding Firearm Storage.

I will be reviewing applications for Louisiana State University’s Clinical Psychology doctoral program this cycle! Hoping to add a doctoral student to our Mitigation of Suicidal Behavior (MOSB) Lab: rtucker13.wixsite.com/mosblab More on LSU's program here: www.lsu.edu/hss/psycholo...

Happy weekend!! Anyone have a manuscript tracking system for a large research lab/consortium they are willing to share (excel doc, etc.)? Trying to get my life in order 😊

Raymond Tucker @raymopt.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Agreed! I worry about confusion with the phq9 broadly as well. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam... Prefer WTD and WTL single items from the beck scale or suicide status form for measuring these constructs!

Yeah but they don’t get to go to faculty meetings. So who’s really winning here???

@lluaces.bsky.social excited to see where positive affect treatment research goes related to anticipatory positive affect concerns!

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!

I know it is not local Louisiana flair - but an awesome Israeli food here if that’s your thing. Asha and Saba uptown are both so good. Grab the street car (not trolley) uptown and really get some Nola uptown flair on the way!

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!

Wow the diversity of those topic areas!!! What a testament to the work the center is doing!

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.

Wonderful! We quick went over this in our assessment course today!

Dang, actually that was a masterclass in describing this! Screenshotting for my lab!

And then teach trainees this skills - especially those who want to use science to serve others! 🫣

Of course (oops to noodle, but sort of still tracks). I like the memory exercise as it sort of sets up why I ask them to do guided notes, attend lecture, etc. all in service of supporting recall and recognition on dreaded test day… so maybe sort of study habits tracing too??? Maybe? Haha

Raymond Tucker @raymopt.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

I teach intro for upwards of 900. I’ve linked my noodle page only opening up once people watch a brief class overview video and pass a super easy syllabus quiz. That way when I get to class we can hit the high notes and do an engagement activity to build class excitement (usually a memory test)

Raymond Tucker @raymopt.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

Can’t wait to connect! Our abstract on adults’ ability to accurately retrospect their suicidal desire dynamics in the past week was accepted as well! See you in Boston for some science and lobster rolls!

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!!!

Defining "successful" coping has been an interesting question for our lab as we continue to investigate when people use coping resource in real time (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...). When most people in our EMA studies do not attempt, how should we message when to use a resource?

"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!
