Past suicidal behaviors including ideation and attempts have been identified as significant risk factors for subsequent behavior. However, inadequate attention has given to the development or validation of measures past The present study examined reliability validity a brief self-report measure behavior, Suicidal Behaviors Questionnaire-Revised (SBQ-R). Participants included psychiatric inpatient adolescents, high school students, adults, undergraduates. Logistic regression analyses provided...

Objectives We conducted two studies to examine the dimensions, internal consistency reliability estimates, and potential correlates of Depression Anxiety Stress Scales—21 (DASS‐21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). Method Participants in Study 1 included 887 undergraduate students (363 men 524 women, aged 18 35 years; mean [ M ] age = 19.46, standard deviation SD 2.17) recruited from public universities assess specificity individual DASS‐21 items evaluate estimates reliability. a follow‐up...

Importance The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) implemented the Comprehensive Suicide Risk Evaluation (CSRE) in 2019 to standardize suicide risk assessment across health care system. Identifying CSRE responses associated with could inform management and prevent suicide. Objective To identify subsequent Design, Setting, Participants This cohort study examines acute (within 30 days) chronic 365 after 269 374 CSREs were administered. included US VHA patients undergoing evaluation between...

This investigation was conducted to validate the Beck Depression Inventory--II (BDI-II; A. T. Beck, R. Steer, & G. K. Brown, 1996) in samples of adolescent psychiatric inpatients. The sample each substudy primarily Caucasian. In Study 1, expert raters (N=7) and inpatients (N=13) evaluated BDI-II items assess content validity. 2, confirmatory factor analyses several first-order solutions failed provide adequate fit estimates data for 205 boys, 203 girls, combined sample. Exploratory...

The extent to which a specific negative life event (NLE) is triggering factor for suicide attempt unknown. current study used case-crossover design, an innovative within-subjects quantify the unique effects of recent NLEs on attempts. In adult sample 110 attempters, timeline follow-back methodology was assess within 48 hours prior attempt. Results indicated that individuals were at increased odds attempting soon after experiencing NLE and this effect driven by presence interpersonal NLE,...

We examined the factor structure and psychometric properties of Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) in a sample 810 undergraduate students. Using common exploratory analysis (EFA), we obtained evidence for 1-factor solution (41.84% variance). To confirm unidimensionality 15-item MAAS, conducted confirmatory (CFA). Results EFA CFA, respectively, provided support unidimensional model. differential item functioning methods within response theory modeling (IRT-based DIF), found that...

In a sample of 351 young adults, the authors assessed whether borderline personality disorder (BPD) features prospectively predicted negative outcomes (poorer academic achievement and social maladjustment) over subsequent 2 years, above gender both Axis I II psychopathology. Borderline traits were significantly related to these outcomes, with impulsivity affective instability most highly associated. The present findings suggest that associated BPD leads impairment in relating well others,...

The extent to which acute alcohol use is a unique risk factor for suicide attempts unknown. aims of the current study were quantify effect on when adjusting other exposures (other drug and negative life events).The used case-crossover design participants included 192 (62% female) recent attempters presenting Level 1 trauma hospital. A timeline followback methodology was assess within 48 hours before attempt.Results indicated that individuals at increased odds attempting soon after drinking...

Objective The present study examined whether reasons for living (RFL) would partially account the associations between traditional risk factors (depressive symptoms, hopelessness) and suicidal ideation attempts. Method Data were collected from 1,075 undergraduate college students who completed a battery of online assessments. Results series simultaneous mediational models indicated that relations current mediated by total RFL (and Coping Beliefs Self‐Evaluation subscales). Further, subscale)...

Abstract Background Near-term risk factors for suicidal behavior, referred to as ‘warning signs’ (WS), distinguish periods of acute heightened from lower within an individual. No prior published study has examined, using a controlled design, broad set hypothesized WS suicide attempt. This addressed this gap through examination behavioral/experiential, cognitive, and affective among patients recently hospitalized following Methods Participants were recruited during hospitalization five...

This study investigated the factor structure of Adult Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (ASIQ) and Linehan Reasons for Living Inventory (LRFL) in a sample 205 adult psychiatric inpatients. Confirmatory analyses provided moderate support construct validity each instrument. Coefficient alphas ASIQ (.98) LRFL (.93) were high. In addition, range different clinical cutoff points was derived Both instruments also better than chance differentiating between suicide attempter psychiartic control...

Abstract Although research has been conducted on the course, consequences, and correlates of borderline personality disorder (BPD), little is known about its emergence in childhood, no studies have examined extent to which theoretical models pathogenesis BPD adults are applicable symptoms children. The goal this study was examine interrelationships between two BPD-relevant traits (affective dysfunction disinhibition), self- emotion-regulation deficits, childhood among 263 children aged 9 13....

Abstract The co-occurrence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders (SUDs) is associated with greater risk for suicidal behavior than either alone. Research highlights the relevance PTSD symptoms in particular to suicide within this population. has also provided support an association between distress tolerance (DT) both behavior. This study examined role DT relationship symptom severity a sample 164 SUD inpatients history Criterion A traumatic exposure. Results...

Objective: The current study is based on the hypothesis that alcohol-involved suicide attempts are characterized by lower premeditation and intent, but only when use of alcohol not motivated desire to facilitate attempt. Test this idea was conducted comparing proximal intent among three groups: individuals who (a) drank attempt (e.g., "numb fears" about attempting), (b) for nonfacilitative motives, (c) did before Method: Participants included 324 (62% female) recent attempters presenting a...

The extent to which specific categories of acute substance use are short-term risk factors, or warning signs, for suicide attempts is unknown. aim the current study was quantify near-term effects sole and co-use substances on medically attended attempts.The used a case-crossover design, comparing within 24 hours prior attempt (case day) control day, matched day case day. Participants were 363 recent attempters presenting Level 1 trauma hospital between October 2008 April 2014. A timeline...

Area economic inequality may underlie social disparities in suicide mortality (SM). Differences measuring contribute to variability across empirical evidence.
