Bringing together leading early career researchers in the field of self-injury research

We evaluated how suicidal thoughts, interpersonal difficulties, hopelessness, and affective states are associated with self-injury & identified factors which may be effective treatment targets. @UWAresearch @UWApsych @PerthSRN @NSSI_RG https://t.co/pdo2FFqIqK

#UWA finds mental health success with drop-in service staffed by students, and dogs https://t.co/EaaR4sYuES @uwanews @UWA_students @UWApsych

Excited to have the opportunity to share some of my PhD research at #AACBT22 (@AACBT_org_au) in Naarm/Melbourne this week. Machine learning can help us identify patients at-risk of dropout in routine practice. I think it’s pretty cool!

@JulieLinJi @UWApsych @ForrestResearch @PlymouthPsych All the best Julie! You'll be missed

@NicoleTMHill "Fails 95% of the time" isnt necessarily true in my opinion. 95% of the time they may give false positives, but the predictions can still be highly sensitive and specific. Depends on the priorities of the risk assessment & consequences (e.g. containment)

[Perth Self-Injury Research Network @PerthSRN]

@NicoleTMHill I've noticed the PPV is frequently left out of results sections, probably because its looks underwhelming in most cases. I don't think its a lost cause, we just need more innovation in the area

[Perth Self-Injury Research Network @PerthSRN]

@A_page007 Agreed. Researchers should be taking their time to do ML the right way and seeking help from as many resources as possible, theres a lot of ways to get it wrong.

Which one is your supervisor?

Some very helpful resources from @aaronjfisher Useful for researchers in @PerthSRN

[Perth Self-Injury Research Network @PerthSRN]

Always a pleasure to work with this group. Professor Houghton's comprehensive longitudinal studies of WA adolescents have provided a wealth of new knowledge regarding the antecedents of wellbeing and mental health difficulties

@PerthSRN produced short-form measure of #loneliness. The Perth Aloneness Scale (PALs-6) provides a brief measure of #adolescent loneliness for clinicians and researchers that also predicts elevated levels of depression @UWAresearch @UWApsych. Copies here

Vulnerability to suicide may increase among people with heightened reward responsiveness (high BAS) when experiencing competing incentives (high BIS). What does this mean for suicide prevention?https://t.co/lyJ1lSCGmW @UWApsych @UWAresearch @craigjbryan @PerthSRN

Okay, a nice start to 2022... first Phd paper/1st author.

[Dr. David Preece @drdavidpreece]

Feature in @PsychToday on our #Loneliness & #EmotionRegulation work. We found around half the differences in people's loneliness levels can be explained by the types of strategies we typically use to regulate our emotions. @Amit_Goldenb @EndLonelinessAU

Its hard to get motivated research assistants these days! @UWASocialImpact

[Dr Sophie Haywood @sophieh71]

If you are currently enrolled at an Australian university, please consider taking part in my study. Thanks

Great Milestone 3 presentation by @KateTonta today. Made even better by it being a family affair. Well done @KateTonta, we are all very proud of you! #SelfInjury #Perfectionism @me_boyo @joel_howl @PeterMcEvoy13

[Oxford Psychology @OUPPsychology]

Suicide prevention has failed owing to the emphasis on mental health-focused solutions. However, @craigjbryan proposes that suicide should be seen as a highly complex problem with many risk factors. Delve more into his new book "Rethinking Suicide" here: https://t.co/0DyOc0ijhP
