Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on suicide and life-threatening behaviors, focusing on risk factors, assessment tools, and interventions. Studies examine suicidal ideation, attempts, and behaviors across diverse populations, including young adults, military personnel, veterans, adolescents, and sexual and gender minorities. The journal also investigates the role of psychological constructs such as cognitive reactivity, hopelessness, interpersonal needs, and basic psychological needs in suicide risk. Additionally, it explores the impact of social and cultural factors, including religious beliefs, honor norms, social exclusion, and internalized racism, on suicidal outcomes. Interventions like safety planning, health coaching, and aftercare programs are evaluated for their effectiveness.
