I'm beginning to think my 7-5 prediction for Bama may be generous. #FireDeboring

This hurts, but the Deboring era in Bama will be without playoff appearances.

The culmination of a 6-year partnership between University of North Carolina at Charlotte Violence Prevention Center and NC Department of Adult Correction: The Core Competency Model for Corrections toolkit. osf.io/z9vq6/

Join me for the Mental Health Academy Summit! I'll be speaking about suicide prevention competency assessment tools. www.mentalhealthacademy.net/suicidepreve...

Our latest: Results of the trial evaluating the Core Competency Model for Corrections (CCM-C) Self-Directed Violence Training Program. CCM-C is primed for further roll out and evaluation, with a forthcoming Toolkit later this fall. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40764547/

Our latest: A narrative look at reasons for living and dying among UK adults. Findings lay the ground work for a dimensional model of reasons for living-dying that can inform #suicideprevention. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our latest: A psychometric look at the The Interfaith Intolerance Scale. We found overall support for a new 3-factor structure. The instrument may be useful for any studies of religious tolerance or prejudice. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

An icon has passed. RIP #Ozzy.

Anyone familiar with the various Six Sigma certifying orgs? Wondering which are actually legit.

Only about 10 years too late. Finally launched a professional website, including a new consulting arm. Check it out: robcramerphd.squarespace.com

Recommendations for building a website? WordPress? Canvas? GoDaddy? Help!

Looking to interview folks in academia who have shifted research topics, and/or folks who transitioned from academia to industry positions. This is to inform a training I am developing that will be freely available this fall. Inquiries and referrals welcomed!

If anyone is planning a large scale survey study if mental health providers in the near future, we've got a new measure ripe for inclusion and collaboration. Will need N>300. Happy to chat!

📣 It's been a minute, but wanted to hop on here to let folks know that I'll be offering the Quant Methods for Meta-analysis workshop again this year (July 7th-8th; smart-workshops.com/meta-info). Check out the link to get a feel for what we'll cover, but I also have some info below 👇 1/3

Big thanks to Charlotte Magazine for the feature on military suicide prevention work and so much more!! Take a gander! www.charlottemagazine.com/robert-crame...

Embarking on the first lead-authored book proposal as part of "sabbatical" (haha, some of you get this joke). Core Competency Model of #SuicidePrevention Training hopefully forthcoming with some stellar co-authors. Stay tuned!

It’s finally here! The definitive list of the top 5 overrated artists of my lifetime… 5. Dave Matthews Band 4. Nirvana 3. Radiohead 2. Weezer 1. Oasis

Our latest (w @drjbake.bsky.social et al.): the Core Competency Model of #SuicidePrevention training for the #military. Foundational skills training for #mentalhealth providers. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Our latest : Negative urgency aspect of #impulsivity has direct links with #suicide outcomes. It also exacerbates the pathway from suicidal thinking to likelihood of an attempt. Impulsivity needs to be carefully assessed in the context of suicide risk. More here: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/8GA9G...

Just accepted for publication: We (US Navy Portsmouth, @drjbake.bsky.social et al.) conducted a pilot test of the Core Competency Model - #Military Version (CCM-M). This #SuicidePrevention training teaches essential skills to providers of any experience level. Article and curriculum forthcoming.

Our latest: #suicide & #selfinjury inflection points - understanding processes that halt self-directed violence in the moment. In partnership w @erinkaufman.bsky.social & her team, & a lived experience co-author panel. Much more here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

What an afternoon - honored and humbled to be a part of three new #military #suicideprevention grant funded projects under leadership like @drjbake.bsky.social. #Servethosewhoserved

Sharing National #Workplace #SuicidePrevention, #MentalHealth Promotion, and Worker Well-Being Guidelines. This resource is invaluable for any leadership that values worker well-being. workplacesuicideprevention.com/wp-content/u...

Excellent afternoon of heavy data analytic teamwork for our Finland #suicideprevention competency study. Results to come!

A professional practice I picked up from mentors is to intentionally nominate colleagues and mentees for awards and recognition at least a few times/year. It can be especially valuable for those who do not excel at self-promotion. Enjoy doing this. Highly recommend it!

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Our latest: An analysis of state #hatecrime #laws, #suicide, #mentalhealth, and #discrimination among transgender & gender diverse adults in the U.S. spssi.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

When you come to a fork in the road, take it - Yogi Berra

Our latest @drjbake.bsky.social lead): entrapment, social support, & #military #suicide risk. We found support for a two-factor entrapment solution. Social support showed unexpected moderation effects. More here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Former student wrote me to update on acceptance into her top grad program. Good moments in teaching!

Grateful to be among a small group of #suicideprevention in #corrections experts consulted on this new US DOJ report. The report contains more than 50 recommendations to reduce the suicide risk for adults in federal custody. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/deput...

Our latest (lead Michelle Hilgeman, PhD, w Andréa Kaniuka, PhD): #Military #veterans enrolled in an #LGBTQ health education group benefit the most if they have low coping #selfefficacy. Read more here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39602379/

Should the Alabama ornaments be allowed on the tree this year? A. Of course! Roll tide! B. Only if they fire Deboering and bring back Saban! C. Hell no. Losers don’t make the tree. Sweep the leg. No mercy… wait, that’s Karate Kid… D. Other (please explain)

I am repeatedly surprised by how many folks are not up to speed on the CRedIT Taxonomy. #Science #authorship is a huge #ethics issue. Cover this in your labs, classes, etc. credit.niso.org
