Science of Suicide Laboratory Directed by Dr. Brian Bauer PhD
The SOS Lab focuses both on the prevention of affective crises, how we can best intervene when crises do occur (e.g., behavioral nudges), and what factors affect intervention engagement. Most of our work is done in suicide prevention; however, we also study other types of affective crises (e.g., dissociation).
Our research often integrates decision making biases to investigate our outcomes of interest. We typically use multiple methods such as keyboard metadata, ecological momentary assessment, quantitative self-report, clinical interviews, qualitative analysis, electroencephalogram, and virtual reality.
