“Social Determinants of Health for Suicidal Ideation, Attempts, and Mortality”

 

Peter Na, M.D.,
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Yale School of Medicine and
VA Connecticut Healthcare System

Preventing suicide is one of the top priorities in public health policy. Identifying key social determinants of health (SDoH) in suicide risk is critical for informing clinical practices, future research, and policy solutions to prevent suicide. In the most comprehensive umbrella review to date which includes 46 meta-analyses, we examined the associations of SDoH with major suicide-related outcomes. Major risk factors for suicide mortality, attempts, and ideation were somewhat varied. They incluided exposure to others’ and parental suicide, incarceration, firearm accessibility, divorce, unemployment, childhood maltreatment and sexual assault, and gender and sexual minority status. In this webinar, Dr. Na will share the results of the umbrella review and recommendations on policy measures and clinical interventions to mitigate suicide risk and directions for future research.
