My second dissertation study is out now in JAFD! ✅ 😬 In this paper, I use two different statistical approaches for modeling impulsivity and its relations to suicide ideation and internalizing/ externalizing symptoms among Native American youth in the ABCD Study.

[Ioana A Cristea @IoanaA_Cristea]

Our paper on the efficacy of direct and indirect psychotherapy for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in @JAMAPsych. Enormous effort led by @WvBallegooijen. This is a very important paper that should and will change clinical practice.

[CRISP Suicide Prevention Consortium @Brown @CRISPatBrown]

Important new study from some of our @CRISPatBrown colleagues, revealing that 20% of people in the US who died by suicide in one year had spent at least one night in jail in the year prior - bringing attention to community reentry as a critical moment for #SuicidePrevention.

[Nicholas Fabiano, MD @NTFabiano]

Up to 41% of mental disorders are attributable to childhood maltreatment and over 1.8 million cases could be prevented if this maltreatment was eliminated.

Good morning #AAS24! Excited to present some recent results from our work using natural language processing to identify linguistic features related to genuine concern in crisis conversations at 12:45 today.

Was a pleasure speaking with @KellyServick about the science of loneliness for @ScienceMagazine

[Elizabeth Olson @e_a_olson]

All of these 'where they raised me' posts have sent me back to Anna Schuleit's 'Bloom' installation when the old Mass Mental Health Center closed. A piece of art so moving I still can't express much about it. Miss that place.

[Elizabeth Olson @e_a_olson]

Emphasizing once again that social relationships and interpersonal connection are at the core of mental health, especially for young people. Kudos to my teammate @LiliTorok for leading this work; more here: https://t.co/ekOvF6sPmO (3/3)

[Elizabeth Olson @e_a_olson]

Anxiety/stress was the #1 conversation topic in Crisis Text Line conversations last year, outpacing even relationships (#1 in 2022). For the first time, we were able to use natural language processing (NLP) to examine what's going on inside that anxiety/stress bucket... 1/3

[Elizabeth Olson @e_a_olson]

Surging anxiety is often discussed in relation to macro-level events: geopolitics, climate change. These do come up, but what we found when we peered inside the anxiety/stress category was stuff much closer to home: once again, it's relationships, much of the way down... (2/3)

[MMitchell @mmitchell_ai]

Does anyone know of & would recommend a form designed at gathering the psychological effects of hate speech/radical content annotations on annotators?

[Elizabeth Olson @e_a_olson]

@mmitchell_ai Maybe see if this moral injury and distress scale could be a fit for what you need?

@kaymtye Defenses were completely closed in my department: so, 0. (pre-pandemic).

@KayleeNull @NSF @ADRC_UCLA @DiegoPizzagalli @maqroll62 @SaraMasland Congratulations! So well deserved!

We're saddened that alum and emeritus professor Auke Tellegen passed away on 3/11. A psychology pioneer whose contributions have left an indelible mark. From work on personality assessment to mentorship and kindness, Auke's legacy will inspire generations.https://t.co/F2u8mhB1YR
