Incredible #SRS25 talks from @melaniebozzay.bsky.social , Derek de Beurs, Craig Bryan, and @meganlrogers.bsky.social The Temporal Dynamics of Suicidal States

Screening for suicidality and adding safety-planning in primary-care lead to a 25% reduction in suicide attempts. The trial-design is also fascinating. Now imagine offering more (e.g., typical crisis intervention) to support people resolving the underlying cause of suicidal despair

"While the topic of death with dignity is complex, I do question why this is the first question I am typically asked instead of considering ways to make life worth living for the multitude of people with disabilities who are struggling with thoughts of suicide..."

Great visualization of model instability (big issue in suicide risk prediction lit). "Depending on the modeling strategy and sample size, there may be volatility in the set of selected predictors, the weights assigned to predictors, the functional forms of predictors, the selected interactions..."

Excited to report that Dr. Nik Allan and I received a $3M NIMH R01 to optimize the delivery of safety planning-type interventions (SPIs) in psychiatric inpatients by identifying contexts that signify SPI use is clinically indicated & conditions that potentiate/inhibit SPI efficacy.
