Areas of Research
Dr. Albaum’s research focuses on the assessment and management of suicidal thinking and behaviour (STB) in young people, and adaptations to mental health care for youth with neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., autism, ADHD). She is interested in the design and real-world implementation of clinical trials in the area of child and youth mental health. In collaboration with youth with lived/living experience and caregivers, she is developing an evidence-based youth-informed core outcome set for clinical trials of interventions for STB in young people. Dr. Albaum is also interested in adapting suicide interventions for autistic and neurodivergent youth to promote neuro-affirming care for those at increased risk of suicide.
