For […]
Suicide awareness homophily in adolescent peer support networks: A Swiss cross-sectional social network analysis
Objective Suicide awareness, encompassing knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to suicide, plays a critical role in primary suicide prevention, especially among adolescents. However, little is known about how perceived suicide awareness is apparent in peer support networks in this population. This study examined the presence of suicide awareness homophily in adolescent peer support networks. We […]

Aim This study aimed to examine the usefulness of forensic information on suicide deaths in Japan for epidemiological studies on suicide and determine the factors that lead people with suicidal ideation to seek psychiatric care prior to attempting suicide. Methods We focused on forensic information of 514 suicide deaths that occurred in Osaka City in […]
Opening the black box of registration practice for self-harm and suicide attempts in emergency departments: A qualitative study
Background The World Health Organization has called for improved surveillance of self-harm and suicide attempts worldwide to benefit suicide prevention programs. International comparisons of registrations are lacking, however, and there is a need for systematically collected, high-quality data across countries. The current study investigated healthcare professionals’ perceptions of registration practices and their suggestions for ensuring […]
Supportive and non-supportive social experiences following suicide loss: A qualitative study
Background Suicide bereavement entails profound social stressors, including stigma and communication barriers, which can impair social support for suicide loss survivors (SLS). Despite recognized benefits of empathetic interactions, social support, and self-disclosure in mitigating adverse mental health outcomes after suicide loss, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing perceived social support among SLS […]

Suicide prevention-related Google searches and subsequent emergency department visits in California and Arizona, 2007–2015
Introduction United States emergency departments (ED) visit rates for nonfatal self-harm increased by 42% from 2001 to 2016. Previous suicide mortality research has provided conflicting evidence on the use of suicide-related Internet searches as a surveillance tool for self-harm and suicidal ideation. However, few have used rigorous approaches to account for autocorrelation at the aggregate […]
Suicide risk assessment with Indigenous peoples: Exploring providers’ knowledge and experiences
Safety planning is an intervention that mental health practitioners use following a suicidal risk assessment. In practice, safety planning practices in response to suicidality seldom consider the diverse needs of marginalized communities. The overarching lack of culturally relevant suicide safety planning practices is especially troubling for Indigenous peoples in Canada, who are disproportionately impacted by […]
Relationship of major depressive disorder and schizophrenia polygenic risk scores to suicide: A comparison between European and Asian ancestry populations
Psychiatric diagnosis rates in suicide decedents appear higher in European ancestry populations compared with East Asians. Shared genetic components exist between major depressive disorder (MDD)/schizophrenia (SCZ) and suicide, but no study has compared these shared polygenic architectures between Europeans and East Asians. We compared polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for MDD/SCZ determined from large data sets […]
Immunological alterations in patients with current and lifetime suicide ideation and attempts: Examining the relationship with depressive symptoms
Background Suicidal ideation and attempt (SI/SA) have been associated with dysregulation of the immune response and inflammation. However, few studies have explored how innate and acquired cellular immunity impact on the peripheral immune response. Our study addresses this gap by examining the composition of peripheral immune cells and humoral markers among individuals with current SI/SA, […]

Objective This research aimed to understand themes from concerns raised in PFD reports for deaths […]
Outer-context determinants on the implementation of school-based interventions for LGBTQ+ adolescents
Background Schools are critical venues for supporting LGBTQ+ youth well-being. Implementing LGBTQ-supportive practices can decrease experiences of stigmatization, discrimination, and victimization that lead to adverse mental health outcomes like anxiety, depression, and suicidality. However, schools are also subject to a wide range of outer-context pressures that may influence their priorities and implementation of LGBTQ-supportive practices. […]
Sociodemographic and environmental characteristics associated with thoughts of death and suicidal ideation in community‑dwelling residents of a rural town in Japan: Analyses from a perspective of accompanying problems
