Utah Latina/o/x suicide decedents less likely to die by firearm, even in rural areas: Examining population-wide data from the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner
Introduction: Suicide death remains a significantly rarer event among Latina/o/x populations compared to non-Latina/o/x populations. However, the reasons why Latina/o/x communities experience relatively lower suicide rates are not fully understood. Critical gaps exist in the examination of Latina/o/x suicide death, especially in rural settings, where suicide death by firearm is historically more common within non-Latina/o/x populations. Method: W…

Understanding heterogeneity in suicidal thoughts and behaviours and the implications for genetic studies – a commentary on Lannoy et al. (2022)
Preventing suicidal thoughts and behaviours (STB) among youth is a global public health priority. STB are known to have a heritable basis, and the development of risk for STB likely arises from complex gene–environment interactions across the life course. Lannoy et al. ( Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry , 63, 2022 and 1164) describe a study in which polygenic risk for suicide attempt, as well as recent negative life events, were related…
Musical instrument engagement in adolescence predicts verbal ability 4 years later: A twin and adoption study
Individual differences in music traits are heritable and correlated with the development of cognitive and communication skills, but little is known about whether diverse modes of music engagement (e.g., playing instruments vs. singing) reflect similar underlying genetic/environmental influences. Moreover, the biological etiology underlying the relationship between musicality and childhood language development is poorly understood. Here we explore…
Differential Vulnerability to Early-Life Parental Death: The Moderating Effects of Family Suicide History on Risks for Major Depression and Substance Abuse in Later Life
Only a portion of those individuals exposed to parental death in early life (PDE) develop behavioral health disorders. We utilized demographic pedigree data from the Utah Population Database to test for differential vulnerability to PDE by creating a risk score of familial susceptibility to suicide (FS) at the population level. Using logistic panel regression models, we tested for multiplicative interactions between PDE and FS on the risks of maj…
Parent‐Offspring and Sibling Adoption Analyses of Parental Ratings of Temperament in Infancy and Childhood
A first step toward understanding the etiology of personality is to investigate the relative impact of genetic and environmental factors using twin and adoption designs. Twin studies of infants and young children indicate substantial genetic influence for parental ratings of temperament in the preschool years. Adoption studies, however, have not previously been reported during the early years of life. We present parent‐off spring comparisons for …
Home environment and cognitive ability of 7-year-old children in the Colorado Adoption Project: Genetic and environmental etiologies
Family environment may be related to childhood cognitive abilities either directly through environmental transmission or indirectly through correlations with parental genotypes. Using the methodology of quantitative behavioral genetics, the magnitude of such effects can be determined. In this study, these relations were investigated using measures of home environment obtained from infancy through 7 years of age and WISC-R full scale IQ on a sampl…
