Childhood exposure to interpersonal and animal-directed violence
Co-occurring exposure to interpersonal violence and animal-directed violence in childhood is associated with elevated adult suicidality. These results identify animal cruelty exposure as a meaningful component of threat-based adversity and support its inclusion in trauma history interviews and suicide risk assessments
Suicidal Ideation and Its Correlates Among Adolescents in Trinidad and Tobago
Rape Victimization and Suicidality Among Black Girls in the United States
This study investigated the relationships between rape victimization and suicidality among Black adolescent girls. Data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey was used, with a sample of 1,029 Black girls aged 14 to 18. Using multivariate logistic regression, the results indicated that Black girls who experienced rape were 2.52 times more likely to have a suicide plan and 3.94 times more likely to have attempted suicide compared to Black girls w…
Introduction to the Special Section on Public Impact Scholarship in Social Work
This article advances a longstanding dialogue on the relationship between academic scholarship and public life. Focusing on contributions from social work, we articulate a framework for conceptualizing public impact scholarship as characterized by intentional efforts to create social change through the translation and dissemination of research to nonacademic audiences. We offer examples of social work scholarship that meet this definition, and we…
The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales—21 (Dass‐21)
OBJECTIVES: We conducted two studies to examine the dimensions, internal consistency reliability estimates, and potential correlates of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21; Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). METHOD: Participants in Study 1 included 887 undergraduate students (363 men and 524 women, aged 18 to 35 years; mean [M] age = 19.46, standard deviation [SD] = 2.17) recruited from two public universities to assess the specificity of t…
Reflections on a proposed theory of reservation-dwelling American Indian alcohol use
In their recent article, N. Spillane and G. Smith suggested that reservation-dwelling American Indians have higher rates of problem drinking than do either non-American Indians or those American Indians living in nonreservation settings. These authors further argued that problematic alcohol use patterns in reservation communities are due to the lack of contingencies between drinking and "standard life reinforcers" (SLRs), such as employment, hous…

Assessing Protection from Suicidal Risk
This study investigated psychometric properties of the Suicide Resilience Inventory-25 (SRI-25) in a diverse sample of 239 college students. Participants completed the SRI-25, Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 3 dimensions described by SRI-25 authors (A. Osman et al., 2004 Osman , A. , Gutierrez , P. M. , Mu…
Suicidal Ideation and Attempts among Sexual Minority Youths Receiving Social Services
The increased risk of suicidal ideation and attempts among sexual minority youths have been documented in studies using both convenience samples and representative community samples. However, as most youths do not access social services, these studies do not necessarily represent the sexual minority youths that community-based social workers may encounter in their day-to-day practice. As such, the present study on risk and protective factors rela…
Challenges in Assessing Intent to Die
Assessing a person's intent to die in a suicide attempt is crucial for risk assessment and research, yet suicidal intent is notoriously difficult to measure. People who intended to die when they hurt themselves may deny it, and others may feign intent for secondary gain. Additionally, ambivalence, memory gaps, impulsivity, and fluidity of intent can hinder accurate assessment of intent. Circumstantial evidence, such as a suicide note, may illumin…
They Might Think I Was Crazy”
It is well known that many suicidal young people avoid asking for help; however, the reasons why are less understood. A sample of 101 American Indians (age 15-21 years) who had thought about or attempted suicide was asked open-ended questions about barriers to seeking formal and informal help while suicidal. The 74 participants who avoided at least one type of help most commonly reported internal factors, such as embarrassment, lack of problem re…
