🚨My trainee Victoria Murphy, data architect Gabriel Mongefranco, and I are pleased to share 🌟EMA-CleanR: R code to pre-process, clean, and visualize ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data! Documentation: teamdynamix.umich.edu/TDClient/210... Code: github.com/DepressionCe...

After 5 years of data collection, our WARN-D machine learning competition to forecast depression onset is now LIVE! We hope many of you will participate—we have incredibly rich data. If you share a single thing of my lab this year, please make it this competition. eiko-fried.com/warn-d-machi...

I have been teaching at Brown University for 16 years, and have considered campus and Providence as one of the safest places I've ever lived in the U.S. Still, it's happened here. My heart goes out to those students and families as they deal with this. We owe them better.

I’m praying for the lives lost, those in critical condition, & the Brown University community. More innocent lives stolen due to senseless gun violence. It’s long overdue that we treat this gun violence epidemic as the public health crisis it is.

🚨Model Checking for Vector Autoregressive Models 🚨 In a new preprint, @joranjongerling.bsky.social, @bsiepe.bsky.social, @sachaepskamp.bsky.social, Lourens Waldorp and I provide a tutorial on model checking for Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models: osf.io/preprints/ps...

💥UPDATE: I've got a (rough) website up! I am also looking for 1-2 graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows to join the team in Fall 2026! Apply via @casaa.bsky.social for the T32 Fellowship or via @unm.edu psychology for graduate study. Links to applications here: bricsslab.com/announcements

So excited to work with @jessicaturnerphd.bsky.social to move this important project forward - !

@jessicaturnerphd.bsky.social and I are #hiring ASAP multiple paid RAs for an NIMH study. Goal: develop new methods to identify who is at risk of suicide, and when. Great opportunity to gain research skills, solid professional mentorship, esp. for grad school! Please share. tinyurl.com/2yp2prhw

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

Hi SSI SIG! Dr. Brandon Gaudiano at Butler Hospital/Brown University is hiring a full-time, paid research assistant for a randomized controlled trial of a mindfulness intervention for individuals with serious mental illness. See the full job posting for more info! ⬇️

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.

new viewpoint article forthcoming at Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science with @cassie-boness.bsky.social Thinking Beyond Substances: Why Behavioral “Addiction” Research must Move past Substance Use Disorder Paradigms osf.io/preprints/ps...

Dr. Nik Allan and I are #hiring 2 RAs to work on a new project examining strategies for managing suicide risk in psychiatric inpatients. Position is onsite at @OSUWexMed. Apply now & feel free to contact me with questions. Please RT. osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/j...
