Research Areas
Mechanism and Cohort study
We employ cutting-edge research methods such as neuroimaging, ecological momentary assessment (EMA), and longitudinal cohort studies to investigate the mechanisms underlying mental health issues and the development of self-harm and suicidal behaviors. Our interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach allows us to explore these phenomena from a public health perspective, examining the epidemiological characteristics at a population level.
School Prevention
Our school prevention projects aim to promote the mental health and well-being of students by implementing evidence-based interventions and strategies. We focus on identifying risk and protective factors, developing early detection protocols, evaluating the effectiveness of prevention programs, addressing bullying and cyberbullying, and fostering a positive school environment.
