Finally got around to finishing the personal website I started…years ago 🙃… Better late than never! laura-dadamo.github.io Feel free to check it out to learn about my work! I’m always looking for new collaborators 😊

Yesterday I defended my PhD surrounded by all the people who made the past 5 years possible 💜 What a journey!

Excited to share a new paper I co–first authored in @intjeatdisord.bsky.social 🎉 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We ran a 3-arm pilot RCT (N=148) testing a mobile app for teens w/ or at high risk for eating disorders, comparing self-help to guided self-help (GSH) and GSH+social networking

Acceptability, Feasibility, and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Mobile App for Teens With or at High Risk for Eating Disorders: A Three‐Arm Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Self‐Help, Guided Self‐Help, and Guided Self‐Help With a Social Networking Component

Objective Given the wide treatment gap for eating disorders (EDs) and that these problems often emerge in adolescence, novel tools, such as app-based interventions, are needed to prevent and treat E...

New paper out in Psychiatric Clinics of North America by @carlihowe.bsky.social @fitzsimmonscraft.bsky.social and myself on the state of the literature on using technology to improve eating disorder treatment outcomes! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Leveraging Technology to Enhance Eating Disorder Treatment Outcomes

sciencedirect.com

People with eating disorders often post about their symptoms on social media📱 Can AI help detect markers of ED risk in online spaces & connect users to evidence-based support? Social media platforms already use automated tools to flag harmful content, but these systems usually aren’t transparent.

Update: my F31 was reinstated - I received the NOA for year 2 today. There is a lot of fighting left to do, but I'm grateful for everyone who has been working to defend diversity in science, and for this opportunity as a trainee to do this work ❤️

Year 2 of my NIMH F31 was supposed to have started yesterday. An award that I was proud to have funded on the first submission (13th percentile), which supported my dissertation research on eating disorders in adolescents, and which funded my tuition, stipend, and health insurance for the past year.

Just here to reiterate that @isrii.bsky.social is my favorite conference! Had an amazing time, as always, connecting with this inspiring community, including my fellow #digitalhealth EMCRs 🤩🌊

a few things you can do to help queer health research: - call your reps - contact your local media ** for both, highlight the value of this work to your community - donate to state AGs - donate to relevant legal orgs - amplify what's happening & thank you to everyone who has reached out, truly 💗

ICYMI Last week we lost ALL of our NIH funding. Here is some of the LGBTQ health equity research that NIH funding has supported. A thread ⬇️ #LGBTQ #HealthEquity #PublicHealth

Scientist speaks out after NIH terminates grants including study of LGBTQ+ teens' mental health

Dr. Brittany Charlton is speaking out after the NIH terminated all of her grants studying how discriminatory laws impact mental health among LGBTQ+ teens.

The crush of new grant cancellations hasn't let up. If your grant was terminated (or your app was pulled) please use this Google Form👇 to submit details for tracking purposes. Multiple advocacy efforts are moving forward, but we must must must know more about what grants were cancelled and why.

Just found out NIH has officially canceled our grant, a longitudinal study of Alzheimer's disease in Black Americans. I cannot even put into words how angry I am. The truth is they are canceling it because it has Black in the title. That's it, there is no other reason to do this.

my NIH grant was terminated today - the grant that pays my rent and my bills and my loans and my health insurance - because I study how to improve the lives and wellbeing of queer people #episky #medsky

1/x My NIH grant that would collect data to help *prevent suicidal thoughts and behaviors* among LGBTQ+ people was terminated today, along with many other LGBTQ+ focused grants. These terminations make no sense scientifically. Here's why:

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Still awestruck from watching my partner @drrachitsharma.bsky.social of Drexel University’s Environmental & Occupational Health Dept defend his dissertation so masterfully yesterday. Could not be more proud of you Dr. Sharma! 🎓 #phdone

New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024. That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved. Show me a better investment than that. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...
