Reducing the ‘Silence Between Sessions’
INTRODUCTION: Despite academic and clinical interest in digital suicide prevention tools ('digital tools'), challenges persist related to their integration into existing care pathways. The objective of this study was to understand how young people and professionals use and perceive digital tools for the management of suicidal thoughts and/or self-harming behaviours. METHODS: This qualitative study involved interviews with young people aged 18-25 …
A Pre–Post Study of the Feasibility, Acceptability and Benefits of a Co‐Design Approach for the Development of a Digital Suicide Prevention App for International Students
BACKGROUND: Interest in co-design for suicide prevention is growing, yet few studies have evaluated feasibility, acceptability and impact, particularly for culturally and linguistically diverse populations. This study assessed a co-design process used to develop a digital suicide prevention intervention with international students in Australia. DESIGN: We conducted a mixed-methods pre-post evaluation across 10 student and three stakeholder worksh…
A qualitative study of young migrants’ encounters with suicide and self-harm content, connecting and seeking help on social media
Young migrants encounter heightened challenges as the intersection of their youth and migrant identities magnifies the influence of risk factors for suicide. Social media offers a platform for young migrants to express emotions, seek support and connect with others, often anonymously. However, how they communicate about self-harm and suicide online remains underexplored. This qualitative study involved 17 online interviews with young migrants age…
Young People’s Behavior, Confidence, and Safety when Communicating Online about Self-Harm and Suicide
Young people may search for, or be exposed to, self-harm- and suicide-related content on social media, and they sometimes use these platforms to communicate about their own experiences of self-harm and suicide. Preliminary evidence demonstrates exposure to self-harm and suicide-related content online has both protective and harmful effects. However, research in this area has been hindered by the lack of validated measures of young people’s behavi…
How do Australian social media users experience self-harm and suicide-related content? A National cross-sectional survey comparing young people and adults
Rates of self-harm and suicide appear to be increasing in young people and many attribute this to social media use. However, high quality studies examining young people’s experiences of self-harm and suicide-related content on social media, and the impact on wellbeing, are lacking. An online national cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and March 2024. Quota sampling was used. Participants from across Australia were recruited from…
Suicide prevention for international students
International students frequently report suicidal thoughts and behaviours, but often do not seek help. We evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an adapted version of safeTALK suicide prevention training for international students. Eight workshops were delivered in Melbourne, Australia (N = 128; 62.5% female, M age = 23.4). In this single-arm study, surveys were completed pre-, post-, and three months post-trai…
The Lancet Psychiatry Commission on youth mental health
Psychometric assessment of the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire Junior
Participatory Design in Suicide Prevention
BACKGROUND: Current suicide prevention approaches are not adapted to international student needs, and participatory design is a method that may facilitate the development or adaptation of appropriate programmes for this group. METHODS: This qualitative study investigated the experiences of international university students studying in Australia who participated in a co-consultation process to adapt the LivingWorks safeTALK suicide prevention prog…

Clinical Trials NCT05229302. Registered on January 27th, 2022
Can #chatsafe support parents and carers beyond Australia? A qualitative study
The findings from this study underscore a universal need for psychoeducation initiatives that provide adults with the skills and knowledge to support the mental health of young people, both online and offline, and that resources like #chastafe can play an important role in providing reliable information about these topics to adults across a range of cultures and contexts
Evidence for validity, reliability and measurement invariance of the emotion regulation questionnaire for children and adolescents (ERQ-CA) in secondary students from Chile
Researching the researchers
Despite working in the same environment, research support staff report experiencing significantly less psychosocial stressors compared to postgraduate students, early-middle career researchers and senior researchers. Future research that targets key modifiable stressors associated with psychological distress including work organization and job content, and work-life balance could improve the overall mental health and wellbeing of mental health re…
Optimizing Strategies for Improving Mental Health in Victoria, Australia during the Covid-19 Era
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the mental health of populations and highlighted the limitations of mental health care systems. As the trajectory of the pandemic and the economic recovery are still uncertain, decision tools are needed to help evaluate the best interventions to improve mental health outcomes. We developed a system dynamics model that captures causal relationships among population, demographics, post-secondary education,…
Parent Education for Responding to and Supporting Youth with Suicidal Thoughts (Persyst)
The gatekeeper training of parents is a promising approach for suicide prevention in young people, but little research has addressed the effectiveness of such training, especially using online delivery. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of the delivery of an online suicide prevention training program, LivingWorks Start, to improve the capacity of parents to support young people at risk of suicide. The participants were 1…
Responding to Suicide Clusters in the Community
Suicide clusters involve an excessive number of suicides, suicide attempts, or both, that occur close in space or time or involve social links between cluster members. Although suicide clusters are rare, evidence documenting the implementation of suicide cluster response activities in communities is required yet remains limited. In this study, we identified the core components of existing suicide cluster response frameworks through a search of th…
The Mental Health and Social Media Use of Young Australians during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Young people may be particularly vulnerable to the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and may also be more likely to use social media at this time. This study aimed to explore young people's mental health and social media use during the COVID-19 pandemic and examined their use of social media to seek and provide support for suicidal thoughts and self-harm during this period. Young people aged 16-25 ( n = 371, M = 21.1) from the genera…
Testing the Effectiveness of a Blended Intervention to Reduce Suicidal Ideation among School Adolescents in Chile
Suicidal ideation is prevalent in adolescents and is a marker for subsequent psychiatric vulnerability and symptom severity. Literature shows that blended care (integrating online and offline components in a treatment process) could improve the effectiveness and adherence of interventions targeting suicidal ideation in adolescents, but the evidence is inconclusive. Thus, we will test the effectiveness of a blended intervention to reduce suicidal …
A Qualitative Account of Young People’s Experiences Seeking Care from Emergency Departments for Self-Harm
Many young people who engage in self-harm do not seek help from health services. For those that do, emergency departments (EDs) are a key point of contact. Substantial gaps remain in current knowledge related to young consumers' experiences and views on optimal treatment of self-harm in the ED. In this study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen young people ( M age = 21.2 years), who were engaged with care at headspace early i…
A Pilot Case-Control Study of the Social Media Activity Following Cluster and Non-Cluster Suicides in Australia
Social media may play a role in the "contagion" mechanism thought to underpin suicide clusters. Our pilot case-control study presented a novel methodological approach to examining whether Facebook activity following cluster and non-cluster suicides differed. We used a scan statistic to identify suicide cluster cases occurring in spatiotemporal clusters and matched each case to 10 non-cluster control suicides. We identified the Facebook accounts o…
Working with Young People at Risk of Suicidal Behaviour and Self-Harm
General Practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in the identification and support of young people at risk of suicidal behaviour and self-harm; however, no studies have explored GPs' perspectives, approaches, challenges, and resource needs when working with this cohort in an Australian setting. This was a qualitative study where fifteen GPs ( M age = 45.25 years) from multiple clinics in Western Australia took part in semi-structured interviews, a…

Development of a Self-Harm Monitoring System for Victoria
The prevention of suicide and suicide-related behaviour are key policy priorities in Australia and internationally. The World Health Organization has recommended that member states develop self-harm surveillance systems as part of their suicide prevention efforts. This is also a priority under Australia's Fifth National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of a state-based self-harm monit…
Parents’ Experience and Psychoeducation Needs When Supporting a Young Person Who Self-Harms
The study highlights the need for support for parents and carers of young people who engage in self-harm, including development and adaptation of resources, such as the "Coping with Self-Harm" booklet, of which an Australian version has now been developed
An Enhanced Social Networking Intervention for Young People with Active Suicidal Ideation
Online social networking interventions have potential to support young people who experience suicidal thoughts by specifically addressing interpersonal risk factors for suicide, but may also pose a risk of harm. This uncontrolled, single-group pilot study aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and acceptability of an enhanced online social networking intervention ("Affinity") among a sample of young people who experienced active suicidal idea…
Nursing Home Staffing and Its Relationship to Deficiencies
Facility characteristics and states were stronger predictors of deficiencies than were staffing hours and resident characteristics. Because only a small portion of the total variance in deficiencies could be explained, much work remains to explore factors that influence deficiencies
Ethical Concerns in Suicide Research
Researchers and research ethics committees share a common goal of conducting ethically sound research. However, little is known of researchers' experiences in obtaining ethics approval for suicide-related studies. This study aimed to investigate what concerns researchers have received on suicide-related ethics applications and how they dealt with it. Thirty-four respondents, recruited through the International Association for Suicide Prevention, …
The State of the Departed
Estimating the Burden of Disease
OBJECTIVES: A cardiovascular health survey of a representative sample of the adult population of Manitoba, Canada was combined with the provincial health insurance claims database to determine the accuracy of survey questions in detecting cases of diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and hypercholesterolemia. METHODS: Of 2,792 subjects in the survey, 97.7% were linked successfully using a scrambled personal health insurance num…

Evaluation of community mental health services
Alongside mental health policies emphasising the need to focus on people experiencing serious, long-term problems, recent general healthcare policy is leading to the development in the UK of a primary care-led National Health Service. While most primary care-led mental health initiatives have focused on supporting general practitioners (GPs) in managing milder depression and anxiety, this article describes an evaluation comparing primary care-bas…
Expressing the Unspoken
Poetics
This chapter reviews a selection of the books on poetics published in 2012. Taking as its point of departure the variety these books display in their aim, approach, scope and even object of study, it considers the possibility of identifying commonalities between them. The chapter begins with discussion of two books published in the Verbal Arts series (FordhamUP), Kiene Brillenburg Wurth’s Between Page and Screen: Remaking Literature Through Cinem…
Development of suicide postvention guidelines for secondary schools
In order to respond effectively and safely to the suicide of a student, schools need to undertake a variety of postvention actions. These are the first set of postvention guidelines produced worldwide for secondary schools that are based on expert opinion using the Delphi method
Outside of everything and everybody’
This article examines a series of plays created by Nottingham Playhouse Roundabout Theatre in Education Company in the first years of the twenty-first century that aimed to respond to rising concerns about the impact of increasing numbers of refugees in the East Midlands. My discussion focuses on two of these: Mohammed, performed to Year 6 students (age 10–11) in 2003 and Mia, performed to Year 10 and 11 students (age 14–16) in 2004 and 2005. Bot…
Socio-Economic Position and Suicidal Ideation in Men
People in low socio-economic positions are over-represented in suicide statistics and are at heightened risk for non-fatal suicidal thoughts and behaviours. Few studies have tried to tease out the relationship between individual-level and area-level socio-economic position, however. We used data from Ten to Men (the Australian Longitudinal Study on Male Health) to investigate the relationship between individual-level and area-level socio-economic…
Research Priorities in Suicide Prevention
Suicide is a major public health concern in Australia and globally, requiring targeted research efforts to build the evidence base for its effective prevention. We examined current and future priorities in Australian suicide prevention research during the period 2010−2017, and compared these to 1999−2006 baseline data. We classified current research priorities in terms of the type of research published in 424 journal articles and 36 grants and fe…
Dealing with Ethical Concerns in Suicide Research
Given the increasing trend in suicide mortality and its burden on individuals, families and communities, ethically sound research is crucial to improve the prevention of suicidal behaviour. However, few studies have looked at the experiences of researchers in obtaining ethics approval for their studies. This study addressed this gap by investigating researchers' experiences in obtaining ethics approval and how they dealt with the concerns raised …
Our Theatre Royal Nottingham
While the major theatre collections of universities and libraries in the UK, Europe and the USA have been long established, and companies such as the Royal Shakespeare Company or Ballet Rambert hold their own extensive archives, the past decade has seen increasing attention paid to the need to support smaller theatres in preserving their own records. At the same time, new collaborative practices have emerged in the curation of heritage, often dra…
Are young female suicides increasing? A comparison of sex-specific rates and characteristics of youth suicides in Australia over 2004–2014
We showed that suicide rates among young females, but not young males, increased over the study period. Patterns were observed in the use of major suicide methods with hanging the most frequently used method among both sexes and more likely among younger and Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander groups. Findings highlight the need to broaden current conceptualizations of youth suicide to one increasingly involving young females, and strengthen the ca…
