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: 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: Suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and suicide are significantly heritable phenotypes, but the extent to which they share genetic architecture is unclear. Recent studies have shifted focus from suicide within the context of major psychopathology to suicide as an independent entity, identifying significant loci associated with suicide and examining them within and outside of major psychopathology. Additionally, polygenic risk scores have shown associations with case-control status and other risk phenotypes.

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: This study provides longitudinal data on the prevalence of, and risk factors for, suicidal ideation in the Australian national population during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prevalence of suicidal ideation remained steady at around 18% during the acute lockdown phase, and at 16.2% in March 2021. Direct experience with COVID-19, higher pandemic-related work and social impairment, recent adversity, loneliness, and younger age were associated with increased risk of suicidal ideation over time.

Summary: In this study, determinants associated with suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and no suicidal behavior among homeless individuals in Quebec were identified. The results suggest that specific interventions, such as training programs, care management interventions, addiction liaison nurses, improved access to ambulatory services, and development of outreach programs, may help improve screening of homeless individuals with suicidal behavior and prevent hospitalization. Suicidal ideation and suicide attempt were strongly associated with clinical variables among homeless individuals.

Summary: The study applied machine learning techniques to predict future suicidal behavior in a general population of adolescents, and found that Random Forest and Lasso Regression performed slightly better in predicting suicide risk. However, there were limitations in the study, such as data loss, self-reported data usage, and methods of data collection. Therefore, further optimization of the models is needed to improve accuracy in future applications.

Summary: This study examined whether having a genetic predisposition to depression increased the risk of experiencing depressive symptoms in peer victimised youth. The results showed that both self- and teacher-reported peer victimisation were associated with depressive symptoms in adolescence, and this association remained significant when accounting for genetic predisposition. However, there was no significant interaction between genetic predisposition and peer victimisation. The findings suggest that genetic predisposition and exposure to peer victimisation are independently associated with depressive symptoms in adolescence.

Summary: Research aims to fill the knowledge gap in adolescent polysubstance use and determines the better explanation for cannabis use outcomes in early adulthood. It finds that youth with early-onset cannabis use show distinct polysubstance use profiles, and those who follow an escalating or frequent (with cigarettes) pattern have consistently higher cannabis use frequency and problems compared to those who started later in adolescence or adulthood.

Summary: The question of whether high quantities of center-based care cause behavior problems is controversial. Studies using covariate adjustment for selection factors have found a relation between center care and behavior problems, but studies with stronger internal validity less frequently find evidence of such a relationship. A meta-analysis of seven studies examining changes in hours in center-based care and changes in externalizing problems in toddlers and preschoolers found no association between the two variables.

Summary: Eating disorders have early origins and there may be a link between childhood eating behaviors and long-term disordered eating. Factors such as BMI, desire for thinness, and peer victimization could influence this link, but the exact mechanisms are unknown. To address this knowledge gap, the study used data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Development and found that a significant percentage of youth had a trajectory of high disordered eating from 12 to 20 years old. The findings highlight the importance of promoting healthy body images and eating behaviors among young people.

Summary: This study examined the structure of psychopathology in mid-adolescence using symptom dimensions and found that a bifactor model provided the best fit. The bifactor model consisted of a general psychopathology factor and specific internalizing, externalizing, or substance use factors. Additionally, the study found that the general psychopathology factor (P factor) was associated with various mental health disorders and alcohol use disorder at 20 years. The results suggest that targeting the common liability to psychopathology may be important in preventing later mental health problems and AUD.
