This NIH-funded project studies how social reward responsiveness and interpersonal stress contribute to mental health disparities and suicidal ideation in sexual minority youth, aiming to identify intervention targets.
Description
The project evaluates a potential mechanism linking sexual minority identity to increased suicidal ideation risk via interactions with low social reward responsiveness and interpersonal stress in high-risk adolescents. It involves EEG, self-report measures, interviews, and longitudinal surveys to identify novel intervention targets to prevent death by suicide.
