Platforms, Measures, and Methods
The ASSIST Lab strives to support other researchers and contribute to the greater good of academia. We hope the resources below can guide others sharing this goal.
ARES-SI / Adaptive Sampling
ARES-SI is a system designed to improve the timing of ecological momentary assessment prompts for individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Screenomics and Passive Sensing
The lab uses high-resolution smartphone-based methods, including screenomics and passive sensing, to better understand daily-life patterns associated with suicide risk and mental health.
CAT-SRP / Computerized Adaptive Assessment
The lab uses computerized adaptive assessment tools to improve measurement of suicide risk pathways while reducing participant burden.
Digital Intervention Platforms
The lab develops and evaluates scalable digital tools, including just-in-time adaptive interventions and brief microinterventions designed to provide support in daily life.
