Background

Dr. Adrian is a clinical child psychologist actively engaged in a program of research intended to prevent self-injury (including suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury) during adolescence. Her role at the University of Washington has allowed for intensive involvement as a collaborator in a multisite randomized controlled trial examining the efficacy of psychological treatment designed for suicidal adolescents with emotional dysregulation; analysis of longitudinal trajectories of psychological adaptation from childhood to early adulthood; development of adaptive intervention sequences for treatment of adolescent self-injury; and improving risk identification through adolescent-generated social media data.
