▼ In this qualitative case study focusing on a gifted adolescent female who took her life at the age of 18 using a firearm, the researcher investigated the personal, environmental, and cultural variables that may have contributed to her suicide. Data was collected from interviews, documents, and other artifacts, including a videotape which was a compilation of events throughout Amber’s life. This was a psychological autopsy in which the thoughts, feelings, and actions of a brilliant yet tormented young female were studied after her death by suicide. The purpose was to determine what factors led her to end her pain by choosing death over life. Some of the findings were similar to previous research findings on 1) the etiology of suicide in major theories, 2) the social and emotioinal issues faced by gifted adolescents, and 3) the findings of previous psychological autopsies of gifted adolescents. Themes discovered from this research study were crystallized into five major themes, including bullying, nonconformity, lack of trust, fears, and low self-esteem. Within these major themes, specific findings concerned individual traits, environmental factors, and the historical and cultural context. Individual characteristics such as high intelligence, creativity, unconventionality, perfectionism, and idealism were described. Environmental factors including being bullied, relationship difficulties leading to feelings of alienation, and lack of trust in adults seemed to be contributors to the suicide of this gifted female. Cultural influences, including the stresses of having high achievement goals, the pressure to conform, and some of the music of the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s were considered in the overall description of Amber’s life and the formulation of her perceptions. Arranging life events in chronological order added to the clarity of the findings. Implications include recommendations for further research on traits and cultural messages which increase vulnerability to suicide in gifted adolescents. Advisors/Committee Members: Bonnie Cramond.

Research on risk factor for suicidal behaviors has been broadly conducted to enhance knowledge of suicide prevention. However, there are still challenges for risk factor research. Four major research gaps have been identified: (1) uncertain effectiveness of the population approach versus the high-risk approach for suicide prevention; (2) lack of a valid and convenient Chinese-version screening tool for the severity of suicidal ideation among adolescents; (3) demand for testing the prospective associations of risk factors with suicidal ideation using a longitudinal designed population-based sample; and (4) necessity of pathway analysis to explore and confirm how risk factors interact with each other and lead to suicidality. This thesis aims to address these gaps through a combination of five studies. Study 1 introduces an illness and death model to suicide prevention research. Elasticity and sensitivity analyses were performed. The findings revealed that the control of suicide incidence among the healthy population is the most effective prevention strategy whereas treatment of mental illness appears to be the least effective approach to suicide prevention. Study 2 validates the psychometric properties of the Chinese versions of Reynolds’s Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ) and Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire Junior (SIQ-JR, a short version of the SIQ) in a sample of Hong Kong adolescents. A short, four-item version of the SIQ-JR has been suggested as an alternative to the SIQ and the SIQ-JR. Study 3 identifies the history of psychiatric treatment, depression, anxiety, hopelessness, unstable marital status, poor economic circumstance, and a recent death of a first-degree relative as significant risk factors for the incidence of suicidal ideation. The associations of change in risk factors with the development of suicidal ideation have been tested. There are gender and age differences in the patterns of such associations. Study 4 focuses on psychological factors associated with the first-ever incidence of suicidal ideation. Psychological factors have been detected generally to differ in their associations with the incidence and persistence of suicidality. The idea that depression partially mediates the effect of average life distress on the persistence of suicidal ideation has clinical value. Study 5 introduces and tests a stressor and illness model as a theoretical framework reference for future risk factor research. Risk factors are classified into stressor, illness, and pattern factors. Both the simple and complex models are tested. Evidence supported the proposed mediating role of mental disorders between negative life events and severity of suicidal ideation. A gender-specific pattern of associations between stressors, illness, and severity of suicidal ideation has also been detected. This thesis has made substantial theoretical, psychometric, and empirical contributions to the existing knowledge of suicide research.

▼ Increase in suicide rates of African American males since the 1960s has prompted a growing interest among researchers. Although research has increased in this area, suicide remains an issue that is explored far less often among African American males compared to other groups. Moreover, studies exploring risk factors associated with suicide in this group have led to inconclusive results. The current meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the results of existing literature and to identify risk factors associated with suicide among African American males under the age of 30. Of 25 research articles published between 1970 and 2007 that met inclusion criteria, 48 units of analysis were obtained including 37,927 total subjects. The current analysis identified 57 risk factors that were categorized into 16 constructs: substance use, religion, economic, location, education, family, internalizing, externalizing, ethnic variables, stressor/ conflict, support, medical/somatic, psychological disorder, perception, age, and gender. Risk factors for suicidal behavior were coded and effect sizes between groups were computed. Age yielded the largest magnitude of effect such that suicidal groups of African American males were more likely to be younger than groups of non-suicidal comparisons. Effect sizes of risk factors were also analyzed within four additional domains (attempters, ideators, ideators & attempters, and completrs). Results indicate that age and perception had the largest effects for attempts, while psychological disorders had the least effect. Effects for ideators were largest for substance use and medical problems, while religion was smallest. In a group of ideators and attempters, age was again found to have the largest effect while medical problems had the least. Lastly, factors associated with perception and psychological disorder had the greatest effect for completers while religion had the least effect. Effects of several factors such as religion, location, family, and ethnic variables did not change across suicidal subgroups suggesting that although their effects were not largest, they remained constant across behaviors.

▼ More accurate clinical judgement has traditionally been considered an important product of training and experience. Although most training programmes are founded upon this premise, research findings have not always supported this. In fact a large body of literature has failed to demonstrate any relationship between the amount of clinical experience and training and the level of accuracy in clinical judgement. However, the conclusion that training and experience are unrelated to accuracy must be accepted cautiously, for it has largely been based on studies replete with serious methodological shortcomings. The aim of the present investigation was to minimize these problems while further examining this relationship with respect to the recognition of suicide potential, and the related question of confidence in judgement. The sample ultimately consisted of 185 individuals of varying levels of training and professional experience in psychology. Each subject completed a research instrument specially constructed to reflect the established body of knowledge concerning the prediction and occurrence of suicidal behaviour, and a Personal Information Questionnaire. The instrument was distributed either by post or through personal contact. The overall pattern of results is consistent with the weight of evidence from previous clinical judgement research indicating that experience and training are not significantly related to judgement performance. In contrast, the level of confidence in judgement was positively related to task-relevant experience and level of training. Indices of general experience were not strongly related to confidence. The design of this study did not permit an examination of how successful in clinical practice respondents are in identifying suicidal individuals. However, it did strongly suggest that some high-risk suicidal subgroups were more likely to be recognized than others. While stressing the need for caution in generalizing from the results of the present investigation, the trend for differential effects among indices of general and task-relevant experience suggest the need for additional studies involving these variables. A number of methodological issues and potential research strategies have been outlined.

▼ Given the alarming prevalence of college student suicides and the detrimental effects to the campus climate, recent literature has focused on preparing mental health professionals working within university counseling centers for detecting risks and adequately assessing for suicidality. Yet, very little, if any, attention has been given to exploring the relationship between a clinician’s previous experiences with suicide and their engagement in suicide assessment behaviors when working with suicidal clients. Thus, the primary purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between clinicians’ previous experiences with suicide (i.e. suicide training, clinical experiences with suicide, and personal experiences with suicide) and their engagement in four core suicide assessment behaviors (i.e. completing a lethality screening, utilizing direct language, engaging in narrative dialogues related to suicide, and conducting routine reassessments of risk). Data was obtained from 107 mental heath professionals working in university counseling centers. All participants completed a survey assessing their previous experiences with suicide and engagement in suicide assessment behaviors. Frequencies of suicide experiences and suicide assessment behaviors were examined. In addition, a canonical correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between suicide experiences and suicide assessment behaviors. The results indicated a significant relationship between previous experiences with suicide and suicide assessment behaviors, with personal experience being the most significant contributor and suicide training, acting as a minor, secondary contributor. Specifically, results revealed that individuals with more personal experience with suicide more often completed a lethality screening and engaged in narrative dialogues related to suicide, and less often used direct language. Results also revealed that individuals with more suicide training utilized direct language when discussing suicide more often, but completed lethality screenings and engaged in narrative dialogues about suicide with clients less often. Implications for clinical practice, education and training, and future research are discussed. Advisors/Committee Members: Linda Campbell.

▼ Internationally, suicide has become an increasingly common phenomenon occurring with greater frequency over the past 50 years. This trend is especially troublesome given that the impacts of suicide are far reaching. For example, the healthcare system has been negatively impacted by this trend, with patient suicide becoming a frequent “occupational hazard” for mental health practitioners and other medical providers charged with providing care for at risk individuals. In an effort to address this issue, clinicians and researchers alike have attempted to identify and implement assessment techniques aimed at the early detection of individuals at increased risk of suicide. Improved methods of risk assessment will help to prevent unnecessary deaths, ensure that others will not lose their loved one to suicide, and that mental health clinicians will not suffer the personal and professional consequences of patient suicide. This study explores the predictive validity of the Habituation and Acute Risk Measure (HARM), a self-report suicide risk assessment questionnaire, in understanding treatment disposition outcomes (e.g. inpatient and outpatient) and readmission status for patients evaluated within an Emergency Department (ED) setting. A measure with encouraging theoretical underpinnings and psychometrics, the HARM was initially administered to patients presenting in one of four ED’s found within a large non-profit healthcare system in the southeastern United States. Data were collected by administrators as part of a system-wide quality improvement initiative mandated by Behavioral Health leadership. Archival data were compiled into a secure database and analyzed at a later date for purposes of this study. Logistic regression and chi square analyses were used to determine the variables most predictive of treatment disposition and readmission status. Correlations amongst all HARM subscales were also explored. Between-group comparisons were conducted via independent t-test and ANOVA analyses to determine whether significant differences existed between demographic groups on any of the HARM subscales. ROC curves, as well as measures of sensitivity and specificity were also utilized to ascertain the predictive properties of the final treatment disposition and readmission models. Several variables were found to significantly predict outcome and readmission including: Agitated Depression, Suicidal Intent, age, ethnicity/race, education level, and relationship status.

▼ This study explores gender-relations in the lives of Australian men who have engaged in nonfatal suicide. With a focus on the relationship between masculinity and the practice of suicide, the study examines the connection between men’s suicide trajectories and their emotional, work, and help seeking practices. There is a striking gender difference in suicide rates worldwide with men accounting for approximately 80% of all deaths. In contradictory public discussions, men are presented sometimes as victims of a masculinity crisis and sometimes as victors in suicide, i.e. superior practitioners of suicide compared to women. A more substantive theory of men’s suicide, which moves beyond homogenizing accounts, is now required. Seventeen life-history interviews were undertaken with men who engaged in nonfatal suicide. Individual case-studies were written for each man. Four of these case-studies are presented in the thesis. The thesis then examines major analytic themes, on the basis of the full set of case studies. It reflects on; the multiple ways that suicide is practised in reference to masculinity; patterns of intent in nonfatal suicide; the construction of masculinity through the gender division of labour; the gendering of emotion, and emotional practice and finally, different patterns of help seeking in relation to health service frameworks. The findings challenge homogenising and crisis views of men’s suicide. They capture issues of agency, plurality of practice and the complex intersection between gender and other social structures that constitute a hierarchy of masculinities. Whether men pursued a hegemonic pattern of masculinity, remained ambivalent or resisted hegemony, their projects remained vulnerable to work, relationship and emotional issues. In many cases, suicidal action provided a way out of distress and, paradoxically, an alternative practice for constructing masculinity, where the body was both the vehicle and object of violence.

Suicide is a complex social phenomenon and a major public health problem in the world, ranking among the top ten causes of death for individuals of all age groups. In addition to known sociocultural predisposing factors, research in the past decades has pointed to neurobiological factors and more specifically to genetic factors increasing the predisposition to suicide. In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of genetic variation on suicide using a candidate gene approach and to explore changes in terms of expression at the mRNA level using microarrays. Using the candidate gene approach a possible role for a Wolfram gene polymorphism in the susceptibility to suicide was identified and suggestive evidence was found linking the alpha2A receptor to suicide. Also, using microarrays we identified a gene implicated in the catabolism of polyamines, SSA T, as differentially expressed in the prefrontal cortex of suicides and depressed suicides. Also, a polymorphism in the promoter region of SSAT influencing its expression and associated with suicide was found.

Le suicide est un phénomène de société complexe et un problème majeur de santé publique. En plus des facteurs socioculturels connus, la recherche au cours des dernières décennies a mis en évidence l'importance de facteurs neurobiologiques et plus spécifiquement génétiques dans la prédisposition au suicide. Dans cette étude, l'influence de facteurs génétiques et des changements au niveau de l'expression des gènes a été investiguée. Dans un premier temps des études d'association ont été conduites sur des gènes candidats, Wolfram et alpha-2A, avec des résultats positifs dans le cas du premier gène le liant à la prédisposition au suicide et des résultats suggestifs dans le cas du second. Des études d'expression génique a l'aide de micro-puces d'ADN nous ont permis d'identifier un gène, SSAT, implique dans le catabolisme des polyamines comme facteur de risque chez des suicides et chez des dépressifs suicides.

▼ Theories from the social psychology literature have posited that members of cultural groups are exposed to more frequent and damaging stressors, such as prejudice, discrimination, and oppression. Additional research has examined this concept in the context of individuals who belong to multiple minority groups, proposing that effects may cumulate for these individuals, thus they may experience additional psychological distress beyond that experienced by members of a single minority group. In the suicidology literature, research has found that members of minority groups have differential rates of suicide. Extrapolating these findings, the aim of the current study was to compare rates of suicidal ideation broadly across three groups: non-minority, single-minority, and multiple minority groups in order to identify populations who are at a higher risk for suicide. For the purposes of this study, individuals were classified as a minority through several distinct characteristics through which they self-identified, including ethnicity, sex, and sexual orientation. Specifically, it was hypothesized that the multiple-minority group would have the significantly highest level of suicidal ideation compared to the single-minority and non-minority groups. Next, the single-minority group was expected to have significantly higher levels of suicidal ideation compared to the non-minority group. Furthermore, the two minority groups were hypothesized to experience significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation overall compared to the non-minority group. An omnibus, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze study findings. Results of the overall ANOVA model were non-significant; however, based on a priori hypotheses and an examination of the means plot of group differences in expected directions, exploratory non-orthogonal (planned comparisons) were conducted. Results of the planned comparisons indicated there was a significant difference between the non-minority group and both the single and multiple minority groups when compared simultaneously. This result suggests that simply belonging to a minority group increases one's risk for suicidal thinking. Advisors/Committee Members: Wingate, LaRicka R.

▼ Suicide has immediate and long-term negative effects on surviving family members and adverse effects in the school and community. Suicide rates for children and adolescents have increased in the United States since 2009. As part of suicide prevention efforts, information about risk factors and warning signs are typically addressed in schools, private organizations, and communities. In addition to academic literature for professional audiences, various therapeutic resources are available to assist those who grieve the suicide of a loved one. In particular, practical and easy-to-implement interventions are needed by those who offer support to suicidal individuals and survivors of suicide. Practical resources are needed to address suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention needs. This study is based on a questionnaire that was given to 250 registered individuals at an annual state suicide prevention training conference. Of those attending, 60 (24%) completed the questionnaire. Participants who did not have experience working with suicidal youth did not participate, so the actual participation rate was influenced by this factor. Questions explored the recommendations of mental health professionals (N=60) who worked with (a) suicidal youth, (b) siblings of youth who completed suicide, and/or (c) youth whose parent completed suicide. More specifically this study investigated specific strategies and resources for working with these three specific groups of survivors. Findings from this study indicated that mental health professionals recommend a variety of suicide prevention resources and strategies such as implementing evidenced-based prevention programs, accessing community resources, offering individual and group counseling for survivors, involving or creating support systems, and listening to the affected youth. Also, recommended therapeutic approaches should include an action plan where students are able to receive appropriate mental health services. Based on this study, mental health professionals may be more effective as they acquaint themselves with available resources such as counselors, school psychologists, and community services to comprehensively care for struggling individuals. Mental health professionals, educators, and staff members should obtain relevant information and utilize effective intervention models in order to better address the prevention, intervention, and postvention needs of surviving individuals.Recommendations are made for future research in identifying the combination of resources that are most helpful. Recommendations are also made regarding specific content and training strategies to more effectively prepare and equip professionals to engage more fully in effective and supportive suicide prevention efforts.

▼ Suicide in India is a complex social issue and a neglected area by the state. Research has focused on risk factors and the epidemiology of suicide; studies concerning the intersection of culture with attempted suicide are limited. The aim of this study is to explore cultural implications of attempted suicide and its prevention in Southern India by means of comparing and contrasting the accounts of survivors of attempted suicide, mental health professionals and traditional healers engaged in treating people with suicidal behaviour. Methodology: A qualitative design is used drawing on constant comparison method and thematic analysis. The analysis of the data is underpinned by the theoretical concepts of Bourdieu’s work. In-depth interviews were conducted with fifteen survivors of attempted suicide, eight mental health professionals and eight healers from Southern India. Results: Application of Bourdieu’s theory of symbolic power and violence, cultural capital and habitus to the analysis of data revealed the process of constant interaction among visible and invisible fields such as faith, power, control, family, religion and social systems which impact survivors’ disposition to situations. Disparities in gender and role structures within families, financial challenges, health concerns, abuse, and violence were commonly cited factors by all three groups of participants. A few survivors and healers attributed misfortunes and distress to magic, spells and ‘bad times’. Healers and professionals were particularly of the opinion that cultural transition has added to stress among people. Survivors considered religious and traditional methods of support as socially accepted norms. Medical assistance was sought only during apparent ill health. Psychosocial support was very rarely accessed and availed. A lack of awareness among family members and friends to identify mental health concerns and a wide gap between identification of severe stressors and treatment increased the risk of suicide and limited timely intervention. Conclusion: This study identified a set of cultural mechanisms that produced negative impact and led to attempted suicide. The role of culture in causing suicide and attempted suicide is explained by unraveling the dynamics of cultural mechanisms and support processes that survivors experienced and as reported by professionals and healers. This research evidence presents pathways into attempted suicide and a life away from suicide.

Globally, an estimated 800,000 people die by suicide each year (World Health Organization [WHO], 2014). The epidemiological variations in suicide rates across the world point to the potential role culture plays in the experience of suicidality. Although suicide is widely regarded as a potentially preventable death, meaningfully reducing suicide rates has proven to be a challenge. In direct response to the need to clinically treat suicidal risk, Jobes (2012; 2016) developed a suicide-specific therapeutic framework called the “Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality” (CAMS). Central to CAMS-guided care is the “Suicide Status Form” (SSF), which is a multipurpose assessment, treatment planning, tracking, and outcome-oriented clinical tool (Jobes, 2016). The SSF is among the few suicide risk assessment instruments that applies both quantitative and qualitative methods. This exploratory cross-sectional and descriptive study investigated potential differences and similarities of the experience of suicidality between suicidal patients from six different nations (China, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, and the USA). First session quantitative and qualitative responses to Section A of the SSF completed by N= 362 suicidal patients engaged by CAMS-guided care were examined. Results evidenced significant differences across various quantitative and qualitative variables. Specifically, differences were observed between patients’ ratings of the SSF Core Assessment constructs and their wish to live/wish to die ratings. Qualitative differences were also observed, specifically among the SSF Core Assessment constructs, reasons for living/reasons for dying, suicidal motivation, and One-Thing Response. Several similarities were also observed across both quantitative and qualitative assessments. Specifically, patients did not differ in terms of ranking the SSF Core Assessment constructs in order of importance and no differences were found between patients’ suicidal orientation. Various factors (e.g., sample, setting, severity of risk), along with culturally-driven differences and similarities of the suicidal experience were explored. This was the first-ever study to explore detailed psychological differences of the suicidal experience across this many nations.

▼ Background: An understanding of the decision of ending one’s life by people across the globe has to be interpreted within the respective culture. The microscopic processes of the suicidal minds and the cultural influences on them are still unclear. Limited number of qualitative studies have illuminated several areas for exploration; one area being that of ‘meanings’ attached to suicidal behaviors. Methods: This study addresses theoretic and methodological gaps by using a “cultural experience” model to guide a qualitative exploration of suicide attempts in Karachi, Pakistan. Pakistan is a rich multi-ethnic predominantly Muslim, South-Asian country that has low reported suicide rates and strong religious and legal sanctions against suicide. To examine the unique suicide situation in Pakistan, this study had two stages; first stage focused on individual meanings attributed to suicidal behavior by adult suicide attempters attending hospitals in Karachi (Pakistan). Qualitative in-depth interviews addressed the purpose, nature and meanings of the suicide, influence of meanings on decision-making and shaping of meanings within cultural context. The second stage focused on cultural meanings attributed by individuals from society (i.e., immediate family members, health care providers and members of corrective institutions that is medico-legal officers, police, lawyers). Data Analysis and Results: All interviews were transcribed verbatim. Grounded theory analysis was performed using NVIVO Version 11. The core category identified was an ‘Expectation-Reality Conflict’ that arose primarily in context of family and marital problems. Action-Interaction strategies adopted were that of ‘Upholding izzat/honor’, failure of which resulted in suicide threats, feelings of betrayal, anger, despair and hopelessness leading to a state of ‘ambivalence to life’. Suicide attempts occurred in a continued state of ambivalence. Religious prohibitions did not deter the suicidal process but attempters engaged in religious internal dialogue that involved rationalizations and distortions. Medico-legal investigation were negatively perceived as ‘interrogative’ and family made efforts to by-pass or avoid them in fear of shame. Interviewees in the second stage of the study believed that (1) suicidal acts are forbidden, shameful, selfish and done by a ‘weak personality’; (2) life stresses become unbearable because of mental illness for the suicidal individual; (3) suicidal attempts are ‘fake’ attempts with hidden agendas of gaining attention and sympathy or influencing family upon one’s decision, (4) marital problems especially domestic violence, impotency and divorce were special situations that ‘caused’ the suicide act; (5) health care providers, police and lawyers believed suicide prevention required family-based approaches. Medico-legal investigations were suggested as necessary for the deterrent effect although challenges of corruption and exploitation were recognized. Promotion of religious values was seen as the ‘ultimate’ suicide prevention…

La prévention du suicide en prison a fait l’objet d’études et expertises nationales et internationales permettant d’obtenir des informations épidémiologiques, de rechercher des profils à risque et de proposer des mesures pour les programmes de prévention. Elle manque notamment de travaux sur la clinique du suicide en prison, sur l’évaluation des mesures de prévention. Notre étude s’appuie sur une approche évaluative des mesures de prévention du suicide dans une maison d’arrêt. Nous avons proposé un entretien à des personnes incarcérées depuis 1 mois. Elles ont évalué l’utilité des 12 mesures de prévention avec une échelle de Likert en 5 points, émis des commentaires libres et indiqués au préalable si elles connaissaient le dispositif de prévention et y avaient eu recours. De plus, ont été complétés : le degré d’urgence suicidaire à J0, J7 et J28 et les facteurs l’ayant influencé, l’inventaire des raisons de vivre de Linehan (IRVL), le Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. Vingt des 53 participants ont été suicidaires au cours du 1er mois ; seuls 15 ont déclaré connaître l’existence d’un dispositif de prévention. Huit mesures étaient perçues comme significativement utiles. Quatre ont obtenu un résultat ambivalent : limitation des points d’attache, doublement en cellule, surveillance spéciale et cellule de protection d’urgence. La recherche de corrélations a retrouvé différents liens selon les mesures avec l’état suicidaire, le recours au dispositif, l’IRVL, les troubles psychiatriques dépistés. Nous discutons comment les outils psychologiques peuvent être utiles pour l’évolution de chacune des mesures de prévention, pour l’adaptation du programme de prévention dans son ensemble, notamment en intégrant une participation des personnes incarcérées. De plus, préserver des espaces de parole dans l’application des mesures est apparu de manière interstitielle comme une attente essentielle des participants. Des propositions de mesures ont été formulées par ces derniers et offrent des perspectives pour l’avenir.

National and international studies and reports about preventing suicide in jail have been published, giving information about epidemiology, suicide risk profiles.
