Dr. Adrian is a clinical child psychologist focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying risk for self-injurious behaviors. She is particularly interested in augmenting adolescents’ emotion regulation competencies in service of preventing mental health problems generally, and self-injurious behaviors specifically. Dr. Adrian’s school-based research includes adapting dialectical behavior therapy skills components to be incorporated into 9th grade health classes, and improving school based screening for student safety by aggregating student-generated social media data, applying machine learning strategies to predict risk for acute safety events.  Her current work is supported by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Seattle Children’s Guild Foundation, and American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
