50 Influential Predictors of Suicide Attempt Among Suicidal Ideators Following an Emergency Department Visit

Recent research has found that many traditionally studied psychiatric risk factors do not significantly differ between individuals who think about suicide and those who act on their thoughts (Klonsky & May, 2015; Zalsman et al., 2016), an important distinction as only one-third of those who think about suicide carry out a suicide attempt (Nock et al., 2009). While there is support for some psychiatric factors (eg, anxiety, substance use disorders, sleep disturbance; Beghi et al, 2013; Pigeon et al., 2016; Walsh et al., 2017) being useful in differentiating these groups, limited research has utilized a longitudinal framework to identify risk factors that predict suicide attempts (SA) among those with suicidal ideation (SI) over time.
