Do greenness and landscape indices for greenspace correlate with suicide ratio?
Previous studies have demonstrated the preventive effects of greenness and greenspace using three classes of exposure metrics (greenspace coverage, greenness, and landscape indices for greenspace) on suicide. Nevertheless, most studies were individually employed for each metric using a single-phase method, representing the short-term exposure. We hierarchically investigated the association between three classes of exposure metrics […]

Association between greenspace exposure and suicide-related outcomes across the lifespan: A systematic review
A growing number of studies have linked greenspace exposure to suicide, but findings are inconsistent. We conducted a systematic review on the associations between greenspace exposure and suicide-related outcomes (namely, suicide mortality, self-harm, and suicidal ideation) up until January 6, 2023. We used the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (or MMAT) to assess the quality of […]
Warning signs for suicide attempts in psychiatric inpatients: Patient and informant perspectives
Objective: Warning signs can help prevent suicide attempts and death. It is important to develop an evidence base for warning signs that considers both self-perspectives (i.e., those at risk for suicide) and informant-perspectives (i.e., those who observe individuals at risk for suicide). Methods: A questionnaire assessing a diverse set of 80 potential warning signs (“present in the […]
‘We all have a stake in this’: A phenomenological inquiry into integrating suicide intervention in home-delivered meal service contexts
Objectives: Late-life suicide is a public health concern, yet many older adults do not have access to traditional mental health services. The present study sought to explore how suicide intervention is integrated into home-delivered meal (HDM) contexts following volunteer training in an evidence-based suicide first responder program. Methods: Using phenomenological inquiry, we examined the experiences of 20 […]
Managing the myths of health care: Bridging the separations between care cure, control and community
In this sure-to-be-controversial book, leading management thinker Henry Mintzberg turns his attention to reframing the management and organization of health care. The problem is not management per se but a form of remote-control management detached from the operations yet determined to control them. It reorganizes relentlessly, measures like mad, promotes a heroic form of leadership, favors […]
The role of problem-solving skills in the prevention of suicidal behaviors: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background This meta-analysis was conducted to assess the association between problem-solving skills and suicidal behaviors and elucidate the potential role of problem-solving skills in influencing the occurrence of suicidal behaviors. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched until August 16, 2023. Studies addressing the associations between problem-solving skills and suicidal behaviors were included. […]
Suicidal ideation in female individuals with fibromyalgia and comorbid obesity: Prevalence and association with clinical, pain-related, and psychological factors
Objective Individuals with fibromyalgia report alarming levels of suicidal ideation, and comorbidity with other chronic health conditions such as obesity—a risk factor for suicidal ideation per se—could further complicate the clinical picture. The aim of this study is to determine, in a sample of women with fibromyalgia and comorbid obesity, the prevalence of suicidal ideation […]
Socioeconomic factors and their influence on suicide rate: A multiple regression case study in Washington
Washington State’s suicide rate is 11% higher than the national average, making it one of the top 10 states with the highest suicide rates in the U.S.. Although efforts have been made to address behavioral factors that contribute to suicide risk, little attention has been given to the impact of socioeconomic factors on the mental […]
Relationship between bullying victimization and suicide ideation among Chinese adolescents: A moderated chain mediation model
Previous studies have highlighted a strong association between bullying victimization and suicide ideation. However, little is known about the mediating and moderating mechanisms underlying this relationship. Building on the classic General Strain Theory, the current study investigated the chained mediating roles of school adaptation and stress response and the moderating role of gender on the […]
Managed care updates of subscriber jail release to prompt community suicide prevention: Clinical trial protocol
Background: Recent jail detention is a marker for trait and state suicide risk in community-based populations. However, healthcare providers are typically unaware that their client was in jail and few post-release suicide prevention efforts exist. This protocol paper describes an effectiveness-implementation trial evaluating community suicide prevention practices triggered by advances in informatics that alert CareSource, a […]
Longitudinal relationships of psychotic‑like experiences with suicidal ideation and self‑harm in adolescents
Research in adolescents suggests associations between psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs), but insights into their temporal relationship, which may inform prediction, have been limited. Psychological distress (PD; symptoms of depression and anxiety) has been related to both PLEs and SITBs, and may modulate this relationship. Given that PLEs have been linked […]

Alienation flows through the barrel of a gun: Despair, mass shootings, and suicide in an American settler colony
In what is now referred to by many as the United States, gun violence rages on. When one considers the country’s sheer number of annual gun deaths, the data is as overwhelming as it is distressing. Indeed, perhaps the only thing outpacing the trauma and loss of life wrought by gun violence is the anguish […]
A network study to differentiate suicide attempt risk profiles in male and female patients with major depressive disorder
Suicide attempts are a possible consequence of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), although their prevalence varies across different epidemiological studies. Suicide attempt is a significant predictor of death by suicide, highlighting its importance in understanding and preventing tragic outcomes. Researchers are increasingly recognizing the need to study the differences between males and females, as several distinctions […]
