Institution: Complutense University of Madrid
Supervisory Team: Professor Alejandro de la Torre Luque
Position: Postdoctoral researcher
Current research: I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Psychiatric Epidemiology and Mental Health group at UCM, currently coordinating a national research project in Spain focused on adolescents aged 12 to 18. The primary objectives of the project are to provide nationally representative estimates on SRB risk, suicidal ideation, and SRB outcomes (lifetime and 12-month prevalence) in the Spanish adolescent population, to study the relationship between SRB risk factors from the media world and SRB risk (elevated suicidal ideation and/or history of suicide attempts), and to investigate the relationship between juvenile victimization and SRB risk.
Research Interests:
- Victimization experiences in childhood (including polyvictimization, sexual abuse, bullying, among others) related to subsequent suicidal behavior.
- Risk factors from the media world and SRB risk.
- Protective factors and resilience.
