Description
The STAR Research department studies aim to reduce adolescent suicidal risk through novel approaches to assessment and intervention. The “heart†of our program of research is the Services for Teens at Risk (STAR) clinic, which provides rapid assessment and evidence-based treatment for suicidal adolescents. Our patients have inspired NIMH funded studies taking novel approaches to assessment of suicidal risk and to develop and test novel interventions for pediatric primary care (where the majority of suicidal patients are seen) and psychiatry inpatients, who, post-discharge have extremely high suicide rates. The Research Principal will be preparing and offering remote and in person trainings on suicide assessment and prevention in school settings, to small groups, and other clinical settings who inquire.
