Summary
Dr. Bagge and Dr. Littlefield will present a study which targeted and followed a sample with a pronounced risk of suicidal behaviors: patients who are discharged from a psychiatric hospital after a suicide attempt. The main aim of the study was to determine whether subgroup membership, characterized by disparate patterns of behavioral warning signs for their suicide attempt, could predict serious suicidal ideation and behavior 12 months post-discharge.

Speaker(s)
Courtney Bagge, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical Center, and an investigator with the VA Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR) at the Ann Arbor Healthcare System. Dr. Bagge’s research looks to increase understanding of the etiology, course, and treatment of suicidal behaviors across the lifespan. Much of her current work focuses on identifying near-term risk factors for suicidal behavior.

Andrew Littlefield, Ph.D., is an associate professor at Texas Tech University. Broadly, his research focuses on factors associated with substance use and misuse. He has a particular interest in applying advanced analytic approaches to inform suicide prevention, such as the implementation of machine learning to develop risk algorithms for suicidal behaviors.
