Research
Prevention science, built with communities
Our projects share one aim: findings that reach the people who need them. We design studies alongside clinicians, schools, youth, and families — and we measure whether they help.
Between-visit digital support for adolescents
Designing and testing a privacy-first digital tool that extends caring contact between appointments, co-designed with young people and clinicians.
Counseling on access to lethal means in primary care
A mixed-methods implementation study of how primary care teams adopt compassionate means-safety counseling, and what makes it stick.
Universal screening & referral pathways in schools
A multi-site evaluation of caring, family-partnered screening and the referral systems that turn a screen into support.
Community-partnered postvention framework
Developing and field-testing a postvention framework that supports grief and safety after a loss, built with affected communities.
Brief outcome measures for prevention programs
Building short, practical measures that let programs see what's working without adding burden to staff or participants.
