Jennifer L. Hughes studies youth mental health, with a focus on suicide risk, self-harm, depression, and related treatment and prevention approaches for adolescents. Much of her recent work involves large-scale research networks and clinical registries in Texas that track suicidal thoughts and behaviors in youth seeking mental health care, as well as evaluations of crisis-care programs, outpatient treatment models, and therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Her research also touches on related topics such as social media use, obesity, and anhedonia (reduced ability to feel pleasure) as they relate to youth mental health outcomes.
