TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - "I've been a long time leaving": the role of limited skill transferability in increasing suicide-related cognitions and behavior in veterinarians JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Crane, Monique F. A1 - Phillips, Jacqueline K. A1 - Karin, Eyal SP - 309 EP - 320 VL - 47 IS - 3 N2 - Barriers to occupational mobility were investigated to determine whether they increased reported suicide-related cognitions and behavior over 12 months. This was explored in a two-wave longitudinal study. Intention to leave, depression, perceived skill transferability, and suicide-related cognitions and behavior was measured at both time points approximately 12 months apart.

RESULTS indicated that when there was a high intention to leave at T1, reported suicide-related cognitions and behavior increased over 12 months only when skill transferability to other professions was perceived to be limited.

FINDINGS support the role of limited occupational mobility in suicide-related cognitions and behavior.
