“…However, this population is rarely the focus of research. In the adult population, several studies concluded that decreasing or losing contact with suicide attempters, especially in the first year after SA, increases the risk of SA recurrence and even of suicide (Goldman-Mellor et al, 2014;Hawton et al, 2015). For adolescents, we could not find any study documenting the recurrence status of suicide attempters being LCE.…”

Losing contact with adult suicide attempters in the year after the suicide attempt (SA) increases the risk of recurrence. The situation with adolescents is unknown. We aimed to determine whether being lost to contact early (LCE) by clinicians is a risk factor of long‐term SA recurrence among adolescents and the associated factors. Data were collected 10 years after an index SA and a Cox model was used for analysis. Among the 249 SA patients included, 59 (24%) were LCE, the most important risk factor of SA recurrence up to 10 years (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.8 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.4–5.5]; p = .016). Risk factors of being LCE were female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 2.9 [95% CI 1.1–8.2]; p = .009), a psychiatric comorbidity (OR = 2.2 [1.1–4.3]; p = .023) and no family history of suicide (OR = 2.1 [1.1–4.3]; p = .047). These results support the development of preventive actions early after an SA in an adolescent to maintain contact and care.

“…This study offers numerous strengths over previous studies of the association between exposure to community violence and suicide [8][9][10][11][23][24][25] by estimating easily interpretable risk difference parameters, employing objective exposure and outcome measures, and utilizing comprehensive statewide data at fine geographic and temporal resolution. A primary limitation of previous studies is that exposure to community violence is highly correlated with other life adversity (poverty, neighborhood deprivation, domestic violence, lack of access to social services) at the individual and community levels, and disentangling these effects is challenging.…”

Spatial Proximity to Incidents of Community Violence Is Associated with Fewer Suicides in Urban California

2016

Suicide is a leading cause of premature mortality. Aspects of the social environment such as incidents of violence in the community may induce psychological distress and affect suicidality, but these determinants are not well understood. We conducted an ecological study using California vital statistics records, geocoded to address of the decedent, to examine whether proximity to homicide was associated with the occurrence of suicide in urban census tracts. For each urban tract (N = 7194) and each month in 2012, we assessed homicides in the tract or within buffer zones around the tract with a 1-month lag. We estimated two risk difference parameters that capture how suicide risk is related to differences in homicide exposure. Proximity to homicides was negatively associated with suicide occurrence after controlling for demographic factors, seasonality, and other confounders. Estimates suggest that the absence of homicides would be associated with a 4.2 % higher number of tract-months with one or more suicides (95 % confidence interval 2.2-6.0). This relationship was stronger in tracts that were wealthier, older, and less civically engaged. Results were robust to a wide variety of sensitivity tests. Contrary to expectations, we identified a consistent negative association of proximity to homicide with suicide occurrence. It may be that a homicide deters or distracts from suicidality or that aggression or hopelessness may be expressed as inward or outward directed violence in different settings. Further investigation is needed to identify the drivers of this association.

“…Questions on suicide ideation and suicide attempts were included in the same interview. Lifetime history of suicide attempt was assessed with the question of, “Have you ever attempted suicide in your life?” 12-month history of suicide ideation was assessed with the question of, “In the past year have you thought about committing suicide?” This interview has been used in several previous studies on self-harm and suicidal behaviors in the Dunedin Study (Goldman-Mellor et al, 2014; Nada-Raja et al, 2004; Skegg et al, 2003). From the original list of self-harm behaviors the following methods were included as a form of NSSI: cutting self, burning self, stabbing self, banging own head/fist against something, hitting or bruising any part of self, picking own skin, piercing own skin, and biting self.…”

“…The lifetime prevalence of suicide attempts among adults and adolescents is approximately 1.9 to 8.7% and 3.1 to 8.8% respectively (Nock et al, 2008). Both NSSI and suicide attempts are associated with numerous negative life outcomes and have significant economic and social consequences (Goldman-Mellor et al, 2014; Plener, Schumacher, Munz, & Groschwitz, 2015; Shepard, Gurewich, Lwin, Reed, & Silverman, 2016). …”

Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicide attempts are related, but distinct behaviors. The primary aim of the current study was to identify factors that distinguish those with different lifetime histories of self-injury. A secondary aim was to test whether lifetime history of self-injury at age 26 predicted current suicide ideation at age 32. Methods Participants were 26 year olds from a large birth cohort with a lifetime history of no self-injury (n = 466), a lifetime history of NSSI (n = 191), or a lifetime history of NSSI and a suicide attempt (NSSI+SA; n = 52). They were compared on a history of psychiatric disorders, 12-month suicide ideation, lifetime history of childhood sexual abuse, and lifetime exposure to suicide. Results An anxiety disorder, a substance dependence disorder, suicide ideation, and a history of childhood sexual abuse distinguished the NSSI+SA and NSSI only groups. Longitudinal results demonstrated that a history of NSSI predicted future suicide ideation after adjusting for other selected risk factors. Limitations The majority of analyses are cross-sectional which limits inferences about causality. The retrospective self-report for lifetime behavior could be subject to reporting biases. Conclusions Adults with a history of NSSI and adults with a history of NSSI and a suicide attempt are clinically distinct groups that are both at risk of future suicide ideation. Identifying and treating NSSI could be a key preventive factor in reducing subsequent suicide risk.
