Our case study takes a detailed look at language typed by 5 youth on their smartphones in the 30-day period before suicide-related hospitalization, combining both natural language processing (sentiment, suicide content, topics) and clinician qualitative review to identify potential risk factors.
The Youth Suicide Research Consortium will hold its first ever in-person/hybrid conference (and 6th overall conference) July 7-9, 2026 in Brooklyn, NY, at @nyutandon.bsky.social. Submit an abstract and/or register for free at www.youthsuicideresearch.org/conferences

I’m actually a different person, in a different location :)
Wanted to share news of the publication of this research paper with @auerbachlab.bsky.social and others. Using the EARS mobile sensing platform, we found that being homebound more than usual was associated with increased risk for suicidal behaviors in high-risk adolescents.
Congrats!! 🎊
New paper out in #nature #mentalhealth from my work applying machine learning to identify which early adversities are most important for predicting mental health risk in children - results might surprise you!

I created a feed for people who are interested in suicidology, or research on suicide, self harm, and related topics. It also tends to pick up other public reports, like newspaper articles, and job postings, which feels like more of a feature than a bug.

HEY ACADEMICS – I’ve been invited to review a paper for the first time! I’m excited and hope I can contribute meaningfully to the field.
What are your tips/advice for reviewing (and avoiding becoming reviewer #2 😬), especially for newbies??? 📝📚
with an uptick in #musicscience interest on here i thought i’d take the time to introduce myself w a few recent pubs! im a 4th yr phd candidate @ northeastern u interested in music, reward, and development. to start off is a recently in press paper at memory: tinyurl.com/2r6jed9r

1. Evidence from @bttyeo &al supports the idea that you need some reasonable amount of data per subject (e.g., 20 min) to all but maximize within-sub reliability—
then you get much greater gains by increasing number of subjects

Are you a mentor interested in improving the culture of academia and supporting the next generation of psychologists?
Check out this special issue of @natrevpsych.bsky.social, and @reviewerzero.bsky.social's paper on challenging biases in the peer review system!

1/4 FRED is online, our open source software to provide feedback to participants in EMA studies.
We (led by @aljoscharimpler.bsky.social) programmed the software to provide feedback at scale to our ~2000 WARN-D participants. Hope it will be useful to researchers & clinicians alike! Details below.
Are there studies that specifically talk about measuring the feasibility of specific measures designed for EMA? Working on a construct validation study and I could use some references for how you might think about whether a measure works in an EMA context.
Very pleased to share that our manuscript - entitled "Stress exposure in at-risk, depressed, and suicidal adolescents - is now published in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry. 🙌 Check it out at the link below - piece is open access!
