Research

Our work advancing suicide prevention through innovative mobile health interventions has received federal funding on several grants from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Our goal is to use mobile technology (e.g., texts, apps, EMAs, wearables, passing sensing) to assist with the detection of, and response to, suicide risk, especially during transitional periods of elevated distress. Our funded projects are listed below and contain links to the NIH website for additional summaries and details.
