“…Another factor in underreporting may be retrospective recall biases, whereby people appear to be less likely to report past suicidal ideation or behaviour over longer periods of time (Klimes-Dougan, Mirza, Babkin, & Lanning, 2022). This underreporting bias may also be context dependent if, for example, there are immediate consequences of disclosing ideation and behaviours, such as restrictive interventions or a lack of anonymity.…”

“…Harris et al, 2021), could be considered somewhat arbitrary. However, longer time frames tend to be associated with lower accuracy in reporting suicidal ideation (Klimes-Dougan et al, 2022). Our extensive assessment of suicidal behavior using multiple measures and interviews, including the lifetime C-SSRS, supports our findings.…”

The study describes the development and preliminary psychometric validation of the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale-Modified (SIDAS-M), a five-item assessment of suicidal ideation for use with autistic adults. Participants ( n = 102 autistic adults; 58% women, 34% men, 8% nonbinary; Mage = 41.75, SD = 12.89) completed an online survey including the SIDAS-M at Time 1 and participated in follow-up interviews at Time 2 (~111 days later). A single factor solution provided good to excellent fit to the data (comparative fit index = 0.961, Tucker–Lewis index = 0.921; standardized root mean square residual = 0.027), with all items showing good to excellent loadings (0.74–0.91). SIDAS-M total score (ω=.930, bias-corrected and accelerated 95% confidence interval (BCa 95% CI) [.90, .95]) demonstrated good convergent validity, correlating significantly with existing suicide specific (ρ=.442–.698, p<.001) and well-being measures (ρ=.325.–.505, p≤.001), and good divergent validity. Logistic regression controlling for age, gender, and relationship status indicated that SIDAS-M scores at Time 1 significantly predicted suicidal behavior at Time 2, β = 0.462, p < 0.001, [0.032, 0.068]. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated SIDAS-M has utility discriminating between participants classified at low or above low risk, area under the curve = 0.866, [0.767, 0.966], p < 0.001, with a cutoff score ⩾1 providing a potentially useful indicator of increased suicidal risk. Overall, SIDAS-M demonstrated good psychometric properties when used with autistic adults without intellectual disability. Lay Abstract Autistic people may be at higher risk of suicidal behavior than people in the general population. Suicidal behavior may include thinking about suicide or attempting to end one’s own life by suicide. It is important to identify autistic people who may be thinking about suicide. People who are at risk of suicidal behavior can be identified by asking questions about whether they have been thinking about suicide. A specially designed questionnaire, or screening instrument, can help someone ask the best questions to find out if someone has been thinking about suicide. This information can help to identify supports to be put in place to prevent suicidal behavior, such as a suicide attempt. However, autistic people may interpret questions differently than non-autistic people. It is important to use screening tools that have been designed with, and for autistic people. In this study, we examined the Suicidal Ideation Attributes Scale (SIDAS). The SIDAS is an existing tool that was developed to screen for suicidal thinking in the general population. We modified SIDAS for use with autistic adults. We involved autistic people in the process of modifying SIDAS. We called the modified instrument the SIDAS-M. The results of our study showed SIDAS-M may be useful for screening for suicidal thinking in autistic adults who do not have an intellectual disability.

“…In many cases, the specific time frame of past SA went completely unreported, as did the wording of the SA screener (see Table S1 in the Supplemental Material). Retrospective self-report of suicidal thoughts of behaviors has been found to be concerningly inconsistent for time frames beyond a year; 40% of individuals that endorsed a suicidal thought or behavior later denied this history (Klimes-Dougan et al, 2022). Furthermore, the significant influence of screener wording on participant response (e.g., who is defined as the "SA" group) is supported by work that found poor agreement across four variants of an SA screening question (intraclass correlation coefficients = .12-.32) among individuals who responded "yes" to at least one question (Ammerman et al, 2021).…”

American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) experience disproportionate rates of suicide, but current strategies for suicide prevention have not reduced these health disparities. Therefore, to gain insight into factors that may affect risk trajectories for suicide attempts (SAs) among AI/ANs, we conducted a systematic review of the literature. Forty-five articles met inclusion criteria for the final corpus. Results demonstrate that substance use, depression/hopelessness, childhood maltreatment, violent victimization, and friend/family-member death by suicide serve as robust predictors for SAs. For AI/AN youths specifically, risk-taking behaviors, family conflict, and school environment were associated with SAs. Notable differences in risk factors were identified across age, sex, and region. Limitations of this body of evidence are described, including heterogeneity in study design, measurement, and sampling. Predicated on these findings and limitations, we suggest four key strategies to advance the study of risk factors for AI/AN communities to prevent AI/AN suicide.
