The measure of what makes a good medical student and future physician should not be how many publications they have, but how well they understand and care for their patients. trib.al/r3ip6BB

These findings highlight the need for tailored suicide prevention strategies that address the specific needs of each profile to the extent they are identifiable, or prevent impulsive thoughts from being acted on, moving away from a 1-size-fits-all approach. 11/11
A notable finding is the rise of an invisible risk profile characterized by physical health problems (Class 4), highlighting psychiatric underdiagnosis and subsequent undertreatment. 10/11
Class 5 (polysubstance problems, 58,803, 19.2%) reported the most substance misuse (43,578 [74.1%] with ≥2 substances at death) and alcohol misuse (23,298 [39.6%]); with suicide attempts mostly using firearms (20,220 [34.4%]). 8/11
Class 3 (crisis, alcohol-related, and intimate-partner problems, 55,367 [18.0%]) were younger males (88.5%) struggling with alcohol misuse amid economic challenges. Class 4 (physical health problems, 97,175 [31.7%]) had the most firearm suicide deaths (61,674 [63.5%]). 7/11
Class 1 (mental health and substance problems, 41,527; 13.5%) had the highest suicide proportion by poisoning (20,829 [50.2%]). Class 2 (mental health problems, 53,928 [17.6%]) had the highest proportion of suicides by hanging (18,887 [35.0%]). 6/11
A 5-class model provided the best fit and interpretability. 5/11
Among 306,800 suicide decedents, 78.1% were male, 21.9% were female, 1.3% were American Indian or Alaska Native, 2.3% were Asian or Other Pacific Islander, 6.5% were Black, 6.3% were Hispanic, 82.1% were White, and 1.1% reported more than 2 races. 4/11
The National Violent Death Record System was used to identify all suicide decedents from 2003-2020. Latent class analysis models included theory-informed and evidence-informed indicators: circumstances, toxicology-based substance indicators, and suicide-method indicators. 3/11
These findings are from a study of 306,800 US suicide decedents in @JAMAPsych which aimed to identify distinct suicide profiles or classes, associated signs of suicidal intent, and patterns of modifiable risks for targeted prevention efforts. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap… 2/11
There are five distinct suicide profiles linked to varying signs of suicidal intent and risks. 🧵1/11
