AFSP/IASR Webinar Series – Concepts and Considerations in EMA Research for Suicide Prevention – June 30th 2022

Posted on | by Admin
June 30, 2022 – 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm Eastern US time (New York) – 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm London UK time
EMA–Ecological Momentary Assessment–is a method for research that involves repeated, real-time assessments of events or actions (eg, thoughts, emotions, behaviors) over a period of time in real-life settings. With advances in technology, EMA is increasingly used to study both ideation and behavior in suicide prevention research. This webinar will focus on key concepts and considerations when using EMA methods in suicide prevention research, such as decisions and methods related to using EMA, “real world” considerations, ethical/safety issues, and data analysis with EMA (including machine learning). Panelists will include:
  • Barbara Stanley, PhD, IASR/Columbia University
  • Randy Auerbach, PhD, Columbia University
  • Hanga Galfalvy, PhD, Columbia University
  • Matt Nock, PhD, Harvard University
  • Ewa Czyz, PhD, University of Michigan
Moderated by Dr. Stanley and Jill Harkavy-Friedman, PhD, AFSP
About IASR/AFSP’s Research Training Courses: In 2020, IASR and AFSP began to provide new resources to the suicide prevention scientific community, with our Training Series for Early Career Researchers. We will continue to build our portfolio of resources for researchers, which can be accessed on the AFSP site here: https://afsp.org/resources-for-researchers
