Brooke Ammerman is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and director of the ASSIST Lab. She holds degrees from North Dakota State University (B.S.), University of Northern Iowa (M.A.), and Temple University (Ph.D.). Her research focuses on understanding mechanisms of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal behaviors, particularly examining interpersonal stress influences and translating laboratory findings into real-world interventions. She employs ecological momentary assessment, digital health tools, and machine learning to study mental health dynamics.
Her work bridges clinical psychology and public health, emphasizing the role of social connection, smartphone data, and cognitive processes in predicting self-harm behaviors. Key areas include NSSI-suicide risk pathways, alcohol use comorbidity, and ethical implications of novel assessment methods. Ammerman has published extensively on predictive analytics, stigma reduction, and crisis intervention strategies.
Her research has been featured in high-impact journals addressing topics like passive sensing via smartphones, text-mining approaches to interpersonal stress analysis, and validation of self-assessment tools. She collaborates with clinical teams to improve emergency department protocols and suicide prevention strategies. Ammerman is also involved in training future researchers through her lab's focus on innovative methodologies and ethical research practices.
