Role

In addition to her core faculty role at CSPAR, Dr. Adrian is an Associate Professor at the University of Washington and a Clinical Psychologist at the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Seattle Children’s Hospital. Dr. Adrian is also actively involved in the Suicide Care Research Center as co-lead of the Methods Core and Principal Investigator for the SOARS signature project.

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.
