Summary: This study investigates the factors associated with transitioning from recent suicidal ideation to suicide attempts in depressed outpatients. The study followed up on depressed adult outpatients in France for six weeks. Logistic regressions were used to explore the differences between patients with suicidal ideation who attempted suicide and those who did not.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of suicide planning and attempt among individuals with suicidal ideation, as well as their associations with sociodemographic characteristics, mental disorders, adverse childhood events, and prior suicidal behavior. The results showed that the prevalence of suicide planning and attempt were 17.7% and 10.6% respectively, with over 80% occurring within a year of the suicidal ideation. Suicide planning was more likely among those with mood disorders, while suicide attempt was more likely for those who were currently married, had lower educational qualifications, history of anxiety disorders, history of emotional neglect, and parental separation.

Summary: Suicide is a major public health problem in U.S. military veterans, and little is known about factors associated with remission from suicide attempts in this population. A survey found that purpose in life, dispositional gratitude, and conscientiousness are related to remission from suicidal thoughts and behavior, providing three potential modifiable targets for suicide prevention efforts in veterans.

Summary: This meta-analysis found that suicidal ideation (SI) and suicide attempt (SA) are common among patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The prevalence of SI and SA in TBI patients was 19.1% and 2.1%, respectively. The prevalence of SA in Asian and non-Asian countries was similar. The publication year and age were positively associated with the pooled prevalence of SI, while the geographical location of the institution, sample size, and age were negatively associated with the pooled prevalence of SA.

Summary: This study investigates the distinguishing factors between suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts, as well as the sex differences in suicide risk. The findings reveal that men are less likely to report suicidal thoughts and attempts compared to women. There are more factors differentiating between suicidal thoughts and attempts in women, including hospital admission for mental illness, lower education levels, being single, and childhood adversity. In men, self-reported professional diagnosis of mental illness and childhood adversity are significant differentiating factors. Higher levels of social support are associated with being in the suicidal thoughts group among men.

Summary: This study examines the protective factors for suicidal ideation among elderly men and finds that meaning in life and physical illness are two important predictors. The association between meaning in life and suicidal ideation is influenced by age and physical health, with higher rates of physical illness increasing the likelihood of suicidal ideation among the younger old. Therefore, cultivating and maintaining meaning in life is crucial in coping with chronic illnesses and reducing suicidal ideation among elderly individuals.

Summary: The offspring of mothers who smoked persistently and heavily prenatally and postnatally were at increased risk of suicide attempt in adolescence. Children of mothers with a decreasing smoking pattern did not have an increased risk of suicide attempt. Propensity score cannot account for unmeasured confounding factors, and attrition limits the generalizability of the study findings.

Summary: The study found that higher levels of effortful control were associated with decreased probability of experiencing the onset of suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts, while higher levels of negative emotionality were linked to increased probability of experiencing these behaviors. Positive emotionality did not show a direct association with suicidal ideation and behaviors. Similar trends were observed for the Big Five personality dimensions.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial examined the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of brief Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills videos in reducing psychological distress among college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that the intervention was feasible and acceptable, with participants showing compliance and positive ratings of the videos. There were significant improvements in negative affect and increases in positive affect after watching the videos. However, the effects on negative affect and self-efficacy were not significant. Overall, DBT skills videos have the potential to help college students improve their mental health and can be easily scaled up for wider use.

Summary: Interpersonal negative life events are linked to family thwarted belongingness, which is a crucial mediator connecting these events to next-day suicidal thoughts. These findings highlight the importance of family belongingness in conferring the risk for suicidal thoughts related to interpersonal NLEs in adolescents.

Summary: This study examined implicit affect toward suicide and found that suicidal individuals have positive affect toward suicide, but not necessarily more than non-suicidal individuals. Suicidal participants displayed consistent implicit affect toward different suicide pictures, while non-suicidal participants showed varying evaluations of different pictures. Characteristics of stimuli, such as color, may influence the accuracy of assessment using the AMP and should be considered in future research on implicit measures.

Summary: Despite the lack of validated tools, this study examined the psychometric properties of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) self-efficacy for managing negative emotions scale measured via ecological momentary assessment (EMA). The results demonstrated excellent internal consistency, good factor structure, sufficient variability, and strong construct and predictive validity. This supports the use of EMA measure of self-efficacy for managing negative emotions in both intervention studies and observational research.

Summary: This study examined the concordance between two commonly used measures of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, ASQ and SITBI-SR. The results showed high concordance between the two measures and no significant differences between autistic and non-autistic individuals. These findings suggest that these assessment tools may function similarly for autistic individuals.

Summary: Brief, transdiagnostic interventions are efficient for mental health care in resource-limited settings like universities. Little research has explored the effectiveness of these treatments for different individuals. Treatment history may play a role in the outcomes. Two independent university-based studies examined the influence of treatment history on a single-session cognitive behavioral group intervention with optional digital follow-up support. Results showed that treatment history did not moderate changes in depression, anxiety, or emotional avoidance. However, participants currently receiving psychotherapy showed lower coping self-efficacy initially but experienced greater improvements at follow-up. These findings indicate that both individuals with and without treatment history can benefit from brief, group transdiagnostic interventions.

Summary: Nine percent of people worldwide report contemplating suicide at some point during their lives. A possible reason for the persistence of suicidal thoughts is that they serve adaptive functions, such as affect regulation. In a real-time monitoring study of adults with recent suicidal thoughts, it was found that participants often used suicidal thinking as a form of affect regulation, which led to a decrease in negative affect. However, there were also positive bidirectional associations between suicidal thinking and negative affect, suggesting a complex relationship.

Summary: College counseling centers are observing an increase in suicidal thoughts and behaviors, as well as nonsuicidal self-injury, among students. The study highlights the need for innovative approaches to identify at-risk students due to limited resources. The research found that students with low average social support and higher instability are more vulnerable to self-injurious thoughts and behaviors.
