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: The study found that mental health professionals are less willing to treat highly suicidal adolescents and more likely to refer them, regardless of the patient's gender. Professional factors, countertransference, and trait-like suicide ideations positively contribute to the willingness to accept the patient.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a high prevalence of suicidal ideation and behavior in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Risk factors for suicidal ideation included being female, knowing a person infected with COVID-19, and being confined for more than 40 days. Intervention programs are necessary to reduce the risk of suicide during the pandemic.

Summary: This systematic review found a significant association between fibromyalgia and suicidal behavior, with patients having higher risks of suicidal ideations, suicide attempts, and suicide death compared to the general population. Some studies found that this association may no longer be significant after adjusting for depression and other psychiatric comorbidities. Further investigation is needed to understand the unique risk factors underlying suicidal behavior in fibromyalgia patients.

Summary: The study demonstrates a strong association between sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors, which is less understood in low and middle-income countries among youth. Factors like adolescent sex, country economic quality, and economic inequality were found to moderate the relationship between sleep problems and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The study suggests that global macroeconomic factors, males, and older adolescents in high-income countries play an important role in the sleep-STB relationship.

Summary: The study found that around 16.4% of adolescents reported suicide ideation, while nearly 10% of adolescents had attempted suicide. Disinhibition was identified as a predictor for escalation from suicide ideation to attempts, while higher academic performance was associated with lower suicide attempt risk. Depression and victimization were also found to be associated with suicide ideation.

Summary: There is a strong association between Toxoplasma gondii and suicidal behavior, with evidence showing a higher risk of suicide attempts in individuals with T. gondii IgG seropositivity. This infection may be linked to endophenotypes and state-dependent risk factors of suicidal behavior.

Summary: The present study tested the validity and clinical utility of two distinct modes of processing, Recall Intensity (RI) and Meaning Making (MM), in adolescents' reports of suicidal episodes. Results showed that high MM and low RI were associated with reductions in suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms during a randomized clinical trial (RCT) for depressed and suicidal adolescents.

Summary: Suicide is the result of a process starting with unbearable pain or hopelessness, and recent studies highlight the importance of integrating psychopathological diagnoses as predictors of suicidal behavior. Qualitative assessment of motivations underlying suicidal gestures can guide clinicians in preventing adolescent suicides effectively. The Motivational Interview for Suicidality in Adolescence (MIS-A) is a clinician-report interview aimed at identifying motivational areas behind suicidal ideation and gestures.

Summary: Cross-sectional and prospective studies have shown that lower levels of social support are associated with nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents. This study examined short-term changes in social support and its impact on NSSI behavior, as well as the differential effects of different sources of support. The findings suggest that support from family members and inpatient unit staff is inversely associated with NSSI, while there is no relationship between NSSI and support from other patients or friends outside the unit.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to compare the reports of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) among adolescents using ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and retrospective interviews. Preliminary findings showed that more adolescents reported the presence of suicide ideation and non-suicidal self-injury using EMA compared to retrospective interviews. However, no significant differences were found in the frequency of SITBs between the two reporting methods. Some adolescents chose to withhold reporting SITBs in the EMA surveys, citing reasons such as not wanting to answer additional questions and concerns about the consequences of reporting.

Summary: The suicide rate in the United States has remained relatively stable over the past 100 years, calling for new methods of prevention. Research shows that suicidal thoughts and behaviors are complex and influenced by various factors. Existing interventions are not frequent, accessible, or tailored to individuals' own data. Utilizing smartphones and wearables, Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs) offer a promising approach to suicide prevention by providing personalized support that adapts to individuals' changing circumstances.

Summary: This study compares the differences in self-reported momentary negative affect between college students in therapy and not in therapy who received a brief single-session intervention delivered by counseling center staff and a supplemental mobile app. The results suggest that app-based and single-session interventions are also appropriate to use among college students who are receiving traditional therapy.

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.

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.
