“…Prior research indicates the use of engagement coping strategies can be a protective factor for suicide, whereas disengaged coping may increase suicide risk (Mirkovic et al, 2020 ; Nrugham et al, 2012 ). Along those lines, although higher levels of COVID-related stress were not linked to greater SI, they were associated with the use of disengagement strategies, rather than more engagement-focused coping strategies (e.g., social engagement or relaxation).…”

“…Three primary hypotheses were tested are: (1) Higher levels of COVID-19 related stress and greater COVID-19 related negative changes in functioning would be associated with greater SI severity. (2) Greater use of engagement coping strategies (i.e., social engagement, relaxation, distraction) and reduced use of disengagement coping strategies would be associated with lower SI (Mirkovic et al, 2020 ; Nrugham et al, 2012 ). (3) Larger coping repertoire would be linked lower levels of SI.…”

Background Given reports of the adverse effects of COVID-19 on adolescent mental health, it is critical to understand how it impacts psychiatrically hospitalized youth who may be particularly vulnerable to its effects. Objective This study aimed to advance our understanding of high-risk adolescents' experiences of COVID-19, including COVID-19-related stress, changes in daily functioning, and coping as they relate to suicidal ideation (SI). Method Participants were 107 youth (ages 11-18; M = 15.06, SD = 1.79) admitted to an adolescent psychiatric inpatient unit during the time when the initial COVID-19 safety measures (i.e., school closure, stay-at-home-order) and reopening initiatives (Phase I, II, and III) were implemented in Rhode Island between March 13th and July 19th 2020. Adolescents completed measures of COVID-19-related stress, coping, functioning, and SI at the time of admission. Results Nearly half of the sample (43%) reported a negative impact of COVID-19 on daily functioning. Youth who endorsed COVID-19-related decline in functioning evidenced higher levels of SI compared to youth with no change or improvement in functioning due to COVID-19. Overall levels of stress were not associated with SI. Greater coping repertoire, but not the use of specific coping strategies was associated with higher levels of SI. Conclusions Findings demonstrate the importance of examining COVID-19-related changes in functioning and broadening repertoire of coping strategies among adolescents at high risk for SI.

“…Recommendations for interventions tailored to the black community include efforts to increase access to mental health care by reducing stigma and increasing help-seeking behavior ( Lindsey et al., 2019 ). Researchers examining risk and protective factors related to adolescent suicide attempts recommend psychotherapy aimed at treating persistent depression and increasing productive coping skills ( Mirkovic et al., 2020 ).…”

Suicidality is one of the leading causes of death among young adults in the United States and represents a significant health problem worldwide. The suicide rate among adolescents in the United States has increased dramatically in the latest years and has been accompanied by considerable changes in youth suicide, especially among young girls. Henceforth, we need a good understanding of the risk factors contributing to suicidal behavior in youth. An explanatory model for suicidal behavior that links clinical and psychological risk factors to the underlying neurobiological, neuropsychological abnormalities related to suicidal behavior might predict to help identify treatment options and have empirical value. Our explanatory model proposes that developmental, biological factors (genetics, proteomics, epigenetics, immunological) and psychological or clinical (childhood adversities) may have causal relevance to the changes associated with suicidal behavior. In this way, our model integrates findings from several perspectives in suicidality and attempts to explain the relationship between various neurobiological, genetic, and clinical observations in suicide research, offering a comprehensive hypothesis to facilitate understanding of this complex outcome. Unraveling the knowledge of the complex interplay of psychological, biological, sociobiological, and clinical risk factors is highly essential, concerning the development of effective prevention strategy plans for suicidal ideation and suicide.

“…Protective factors are attributes of people, environments, situations and events that appear to moderate psychopathological predictions based on individual risk status (19,20). Recent studies have highlighted the role of protective factors in the assessment of suicide risk, namely, productive coping skills, reasons for living, social support, or spirituality (18,(21)(22)(23). Other protective factors include religion (24,25) and the resolution of participants (26).…”
