Dr. Bagge and Dr. Littlefield present a study which targeted and followed a sample with a pronounced risk of suicidal behaviors: patients who are discharged from a psychiatric hospital after a suicide attempt. The main aim of the study was to determine whether subgroup membership, characterized by disparate patterns of behavioral warning signs for their suicide attempt, could predict serious suicidal ideation and behavior 12 months post-discharge.

Dr. Lisa Wexler shares learnings from research exploring ways to reduce environmental suicide risk in firearm-owning Alaska Native (AN) households. Discussion will focus on the components and outcomes, which suggest a highly acceptable, practical and potentially impactful intervention.
