Abstract
Background: The interpersonal theory of suicide (ITS) may explain the link between alcohol use severity and suicidal ideation (SI) through interpersonal stressors at elevated alcohol use levels. Aims: This study aimed to clarify the indirect effects of perceived burdensomeness (PB) and thwarted belongingness (TB) in this relationship. Method: Cross-sectional data on SI, ITS, and alcohol use severity variables were collected via an online sample (N = 299) screened for lifetime suicidal thoughts or behaviors, nonsuicidal self-injury, and alcohol use. Associations were tested using linear regression with parallel mediators. Results: Alcohol use severity was indirectly linked to SI through the unique indirect effect of PB, and the total indirect effect of both TB and PB. Limitations: Limitations include the cross-sectional design and use of an online sample, which limit causal inferences and generalizability to other high-risk populations. Conclusion: PB and the additive indirect effect of TB and PB may explain the positive relation between alcohol use and SI; implications are discussed.
期刊介绍:
A must for all who need to keep up on the latest findings from both basic research and practical experience in the fields of suicide prevention and crisis intervention! This well-established periodical’s reputation for publishing important articles on suicidology and crisis intervention from around the world is being further enhanced with the move to 6 issues per year (previously 4) in 2010. But over and above its scientific reputation, Crisis also publishes potentially life-saving information for all those involved in crisis intervention and suicide prevention, making it important reading for clinicians, counselors, hotlines, and crisis intervention centers.
