| Dr. Madelyn Gould has been an epidemiologist in the Divisions of Child Psychiatry and Epidemiology for over two decades. Her long-standing research interests include the epidemiology and social psychology of youth suicide, as well as the evaluation of youth suicide prevention interventions. An internationally recognized authority on the role of suicide contagion, Dr. Gould has received numerous federally funded grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIMH) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for studies examining risk factors for teenage suicide, various aspects of cluster suicides, the impact of the media on suicide, the effect of a peer’s suicide on fellow students, suicide postvention programs in schools, the effect of youth suicide screening programs, and the utility of telephone crisis services for teenagers. Dr. Gould has participated in a number of state and national government commissions, including the 1978 President’s Commission on Mental Health and the Secretary of Health and Human Services’ Task Force on Youth Suicide (1989). Dr. Gould was an expert reviewer in 1998 for the National Suicide Prevention Conference on Advancing the National Strategy for Suicide Prevention, and has served as a leadership consultant for the Surgeon General’s Leadership Working Group for a National Suicide Prevention Strategy. Dr. Gould was also a founding member of the New York State Suicide Prevention Council and is actively engaged in the ongoing development of a suicide prevention plan for New York State. Dr. Gould has a strong commitment to applying her research to program and policy development.
