Background
Dr. Bozzay is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at The Ohio State University. She uses experimental (i.e., laboratory and ambulatory tasks), psychophysiological (i.e., EEG/ERP), and intensive longitudinal assessment (i.e., ecological momentary assessment, actigraphy, digital phenotyping) methods to characterize risk processes underlying suicide and violence. She is particularly interested in identifying short-term risk markers of these high-impact behaviors that may be viable targets for intervention and prevention strategies, with an emphasis on sleep as a modifiable contributing factor.
