Objective: The study purpose was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of intensive ecological momentary assessment (EMA) among high-risk adolescents with suicidal thoughts behaviors following discharge from acute psychiatric care.Method: Fifty-three adolescents, 12-18 years old, their parents, were recruited care for suicide risk. included a baseline (adolescent parent), 28 days EMA surveys (5x per day) wrist actigraphy (adolescent), an interview at end 28-day monitoring period...
Habitat loss and fragmentation often result in small, isolated populations vulnerable to environmental disturbance of genetic diversity. Low diversity can increase extinction risk small by elevating inbreeding depression, reducing adaptive potential. Due their linear nature extensive use humans, freshwater ecosystems are especially habitat fragmentation. Although the effects on structure have been extensively studied migratory fishes, they less understood low-mobility species. We estimated...
Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide.Despite decades clinical and theoretical accounts that suggest suicidal thoughts behaviors are efforts to escape painful emotions, little prior research has examined decision making involved in escaping aversive states.We compared the performance 85 participants 44 nonsuicidal psychiatric patients on novel reinforcement learning task with choices make either active (i.e., "go") or passive responses "no-go") avoid an stimulus.We used computational...
Background Suicide rates among veterans have increased markedly since the onset of Operations Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Iraqi (OIF; LeardMann et al., 2013). Identification factors with greatest contribution to suicide risk is needed inform assessment identify intervention targets. Methods This study examined predictors attempts participants in Veterans After-Discharge Longitudinal Registry; a nationwide cohort OEF/OIF enrolled Department Affairs (VA) services. without probable posttraumatic...
This article aims to enrich the conceptualization and implementation of community-based health outreach focused on housing stabilization homeless prevention from a public framework. First, it will conceptualize outreach. Next, identify describe selected influencers as well review best practices. Finally, clinical application these theoretical approaches in project with U.S. military Veterans be highlighted. The framework allows for granular appreciation instability operationalize primary...
Active duty service members who are psychiatrically hospitalized for suicide at the highest risk death following discharge. It is essential to test brief treatments that can be delivered during short length of stay in inpatient psychiatry. Written Exposure Therapy, a treatment posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), was augmented with Crisis Response Planning (WET + CRP) address PTSD and suicidal ideation (SI). This randomized controlled trial evaluated efficacy WET CRP plus as usual (n = 47;...
Behavioral measures are increasingly used to assess suicidal thoughts and behaviors.Some measures, such as the Suicide Stroop task, have yielded mixed findings in literature.An understudied feature of these behavioral has been their psychometric properties, which may affect probability detecting significant effects reproducibility.In largest investigation its kind, we tested internal consistency concurrent validity Task, drawing from seven separate studies (N=875 participants, 64% female,...
Abstract Suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) are major public health concerns among adolescents, research is needed to identify how risk conferred over the short term (hours days). Sleep problems may be associated with elevated for STBs, but less known about this link in youth time periods. The current study utilized a multimodal real-time monitoring approach examine association between sleep (via daily diary actigraphy) next-day suicidal thinking 48 adolescents history of STBs during...
Abstract Background Risk of suicide-related behaviors is elevated among military personnel transitioning to civilian life. An earlier report showed that high-risk U.S. Army soldiers could be identified shortly before this transition with a machine learning model included predictors from administrative systems, self-report surveys, and geospatial data. Based on result, Veterans Affairs initiative was launched evaluate suicide-prevention intervention for soldiers. To make targeting practical,...
Several known risk factors for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), such as negative emotionality and deficits in emotion skills, are also associated with masculinity. Researchers clinicians suggest that masculine norms around emotional control self-reliance may make men more likely to engage self-harm. Masculinity has been implicated a potential factor suicide other self-damaging behaviors. However, the association between masculinity NSSI yet be explored. In current study, sample of 912...
Abstract Bckground Theories of suicide suggest that suicidal ideation (SI) results in part from difficulty imagining the future, which itself relies on ability to remember past. The present study examines multiple components episodic future thinking and memory including event richness , is commonly measured within cognitive literature but has not previously been assessed with individuals. Methods Here, we tested associations between SI across two studies (Study 1, n = 25; Study 2, 141):...
Self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) are a growing concern among youth in sub-Saharan Africa, but their prevalence correlates this region poorly understood. We therefore examined self-reported SITBs population-representative sample of rural Burkina Faso. used interviews from 1,538 adolescents aged 12 to 20 years living 10 villages 1 town northwestern Adolescents were asked about experiences with suicidal nonsuicidal SITBs, adverse environmental factors, psychiatric symptoms,...
Abstract The present study compared the utility of categorical (i.e., diagnostic status) and dimensional symptom severity) approaches to measuring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in predicting future suicide attempts among participants a nationwide, longitudinal U.S. military veterans who were deployed support operations Iraq or Afghanistan after September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11) enrolled Veterans Health Administration services ( N = 1,649). Following an initial assessment...
