• Implemented the Ask Suicide‑Screening Questionnaire (ASQ) following consultation with national experts, addressing a previously unmet need for appropriate suicide risk screening and representing the first use of the ASQ for children with Down syndrome in this research setting.
• Designed standardized instructional materials and independently delivered integrated 3‑hour national investigator training sessions on: 12/01/2023; 02/05/2024; 02/16/2024; 07/08/2024; 07/26/2024; 05/02/2025.
• Responded to investigator concerns regarding study participation burden for children with Down syndrome by collaborating with a child life specialist to develop educational videos (Videos for Enhancement of Participation and Cooperation in Study Procedures); post‑presentation evaluation demonstrated increased study‑team comfort conducting study procedures, particularly among research coordinators and team members with limited prior experience.
• Designed and implemented outcome‑measure reliability training and certification for national study Principal Investigators, including development of criteria and modules for the Clinical Global Impression–Severity (CGI‑S) and Clinical Global Impression–Improvement (CGI‑I), and conducted 1‑hour CGI reliability certification sessions on: 01/27/2025; 02/21/2025.
