About

[edit]

Ongmianli is Mian-Li Ong, clinical child psychology postdoctoral fellow at Mayo Clinic. I was a clinical psychology doctoral student at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My dream is to help physicians and clinicians find the best evidence-based assessments throughout the world.

I am passionate in using dissemination tools (such as Wikipedia) to increase the reach of evidence-based assessments in psychological science. We have partnered with psychological associations to help extend this work.

My clinical interests primarily circle around using a cognitive-behavioral therapeutic approach to treat children and adolescents with serious mental illnesses. I also routinely use an evidence-based approach to complete psychological assessments for these individuals.

Research credentials

Current Workgroup: Helping Give Away Psychological Science

[edit]

I am part of a team currently working to create and update Wikipedia pages for evidence-based psychological assessments that are: (a) high in quality; (b) free; and (c) easily accessible. The measures are organized by disorder type, and we will be working on them in order.

See here for more information on the project.

Disclaimer and potential conflict of interest

[edit]

I was a paid part time project coordinator with the Society of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology. My primary role was to be a liaison between SCCAP and Wikipedia, and my objective was to improve psychology articles on Wikipedia, particularly around evidence based assessment. I am no longer paid by this organization.

To elaborate, I was the graduate student supported by a grant from said society to the University of North Carolina for the purpose of working to improve information about the best free assessment tools available that could complement the information on websites such as EffectiveChildTherapy.org and as well as on the society web pages. The grant concluded in 2018.

I always strive to strictly abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest and neutrality. I will always work in the best interest of Wikipedia.
