IASP is thrilled to announce the launch of a new Special Interest Group focused on youth self-harm and suicide prevention. The SIG aims to tackle one of the most pressing global public health challenges affecting children, adolescents, and young adults.

Almost exactly one year after starting my lab (!), I'm thrilled to share our first preprint! 🥳 @leilyb.bsky.social @sharinahamm.bsky.social @francesghart.bsky.social

We propose future directions for mathematical, computational, & digital methods to advance suicide research: osf.io/preprints/ps...

Thank you to everyone who came to our symposium yesterday!! I’m so grateful to our amazing speakers for making my first time chairing a symposium such a success: @yutongzhu.bsky.social @tabeaspringstein.bsky.social, @audreyhey, @sophiacapellini and @caseybrown #APS25DC

Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>

Among sexual minority individuals, bisexual+ (bi+) individuals tend to experience higher levels of suicidal ideation. Why? Leveraging a longitudinal exploratory mediation analysis, we aimed to provide initial evidence in hopes of motivating further research in this area

This survey is a vital resource for researchers and the public to track the prevalence and impact of drug use and mental health problems in the US. It's a VITAL database.

And it's just going to be gone. Devastating.

Detecting Risk of Adolescent Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors With Smartphone GPS Data This case series study examines whether an app installed on adolescents’ personal smartphones could identify risk of next-week suicidal events and clinically meaningful suicidal ideation by using geol...

Wanted to share news of the publication of this research paper with @auerbachlab.bsky.social and others. Using the EARS mobile sensing platform, we found that being homebound more than usual was associated with increased risk for suicidal behaviors in high-risk adolescents.

Digital psychiatry is an exciting field and includes efforts to enhance diagnosis and monitoring of mental illness using passive sensing (eg smartphone sensors).

But the literature is rife with small N studies focusing on single diagnoses.

That's a huge problem for two reasons...
