Self-efficacy as a Mediator of the Relation Between Psychotic Symptoms and Suicidal Ideation in Black American Women with a Recent History of Intimate Partner Violence
Musicians, the music industry, and suicide
Evidence suggests that popular musicians are an at-risk occupational group for suicide, with the deaths of famous musicians in the ‘27 Club’ reinforcing culturally powerful notions of musicianship and early mortality. This cross-disciplinary paper advances our understanding of the factors that may increase the risk for suicide among musicians and offers clinical recommendations around screening and prevention. First, we synthesise extant literatu…

A Worldwide Study of the Relationship Between Gini Coefficients and Suicide Rates
Background: The Gini coefficient measures how much the distribution of income or consumption within an economy deviates from an equal distribution. However, there has been a paucity of research examining the association between Gini coefficients and suicide rates in the countries of the world. Objective: To prove the hypothesis that the higher the Gini coefficient, the larger the relative deprivation and the higher the suicide rate, and further t…
Psychometric properties and item evaluation of the life attitudes schedule
Suicide is a leading. cause of death for emerging adults, thus there is critical need for measurement tools to assess suicide risk. The Life Attitudes Schedule (LAS) and its short-form (LAS:SF) were designed to assess suicide proneness, a construct, representing one's propensity to engage in life diminishing/life-shortening behaviors, theoretically occurring before overt suicidal ideation. Despite the utility of assessing suicide proneness, the L…
