CRISIS LAB
Identify targets for suicide prevention and intervention by using a socio-ecological framework to investigate mechanisms and processes that facilitate the transition from suicidal thought into suicidal behavior.
OUR VISION

Identify patterns of acute, dynamic interactions between cognitive, emotional, behavioral, biological, and ecological systems that contribute to changes in suicide capability.
-
Generate innovative research questions, instruments, and projects that will contribute to existing research on suicide risk prediction and suicide prevention.
-
Integrate a diverse range of measurement instruments such as self-report questionnaires, interviews, behavioral tasks, and psychophysiology into research projects.
-
Develop and refine existing clinical instruments and processes used in suicide risk assessments, prevention, and intervention using research findings and disseminate information to the community.
