Dr. Bagge and Dr. Littlefield will 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.
