Public lecture by Dr Rory O’Connor from the Suicidal Behaviour Research Group University of Stirling on ‘Adolescent and Young Adult Suicide Risk: Characteristics and Promising Treatments’.
Historically, suicide research has been conducted largely within the biomedical-illness model of health. As a result, it has been somewhat blinkered in its pursuit of the cause of a suicidal person’s underlying pathology.
This model of research is being replaced by a biopsychosocial model and in this presentation Rory will draw from experimental and field studies including a survey of more than 2,000 15-16 year olds, to illustrate the growing understanding of the psychosocial correlates of youth suicidal risk.
Correlates will include:
Implications for treatment, practice and suicide prevention policy will also be discussed.
