Understanding risk factors for suicide after psychiatric hospitalization
Ecological Assessment of Proximal Risk Factors for Suicide During Care Transitions
['FUNDING_R01'] · BUTLER HOSPITAL (PROVIDENCE, RI) · NIH-10954719
This study is looking at what might lead to suicidal thoughts and actions in people who have just left psychiatric care, so we can find better ways to help them during this important time as they recover.

What this research studies
This research investigates the immediate factors that contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors in individuals recently discharged from psychiatric care. By focusing on proximal risk factors such as emotional states, social interactions, and sleep patterns, the study aims to improve the prediction of suicide risk during this critical transition period. Participants will be monitored over five years, providing data through clinical interviews and self-reports to better understand their experiences. The goal is to develop more effective interventions to support at-risk individuals during their recovery.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are psychiatric inpatients who have experienced suicidal ideation or behavior.
Not a fit: Patients who are not currently hospitalized for suicidal thoughts or behaviors may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved strategies for preventing suicide in individuals transitioning out of psychiatric care.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promise in using digital phenotyping and ecological assessments to understand mental health risks, suggesting this approach could yield valuable insights.
