29, 48.3%) endorsed some desire to be dead. Perceived burdensomeness, but not thwarted belongingness, was significantly associated with both suicidal ideation and the desire to be dead. Neither desire to be dead nor suicidal ideation was significantly related to suicide attempt history. Results highlight that including assessments of desire to be dead in addition to assessments of suicidal ideation may address the problem of underidentification of Bhutanese refugees at risk for suicidal behavior, particularly those who do not present with suicidal ideation.
