TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Modeling the longitudinal direct and indirect effects of attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavioral intentions on practice behavior outcomes of suicide intervention training JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Osteen, Philip A1 - Frey, Jodi M. A1 - Woods, MaKenna N. A1 - Ko, Jungyai A1 - Shipe, Stacey SP - 410 EP - 420 VL - 47 IS - 4 N2 - The purpose of this study was to use a longitudinal path analysis to test attitudes toward suicide prevention, self-efficacy, and behavioral intentions as mediators/moderators of clinical skill development over time following suicide intervention training.

RESULTS support a direct effect of attitudes on practice behaviors and self-efficacy, but no moderating effect. Self-efficacy performed as a mediator of practice behaviors over time. Behavioral intention had a direct effect on practice behaviors and mediated the relationship between attitudes and practice behaviors. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
