TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - The link between substance abuse, violence, and suicide implications and interventions JO - Psychiatric Times A1 - Ilgen, M. A1 - Kleinberg, F. SP - 25 EP - 27 VL - 28 IS - 1 N2 - Research indicates that substance misuse is consistently associated with suicidal thoughts, suicide attempts, and suicide mortality. The risk of suicide is likely to be greater in persons with more severe levels of substance abuse as well as in those with depression. In addition, a propensity to engage in interpersonal violence is an important suiciderelated risk factor. These findings reinforce the need for increased suicide assessment and intervention efforts to address co-occurring problems in individuals with substance use disorders and/or interpersonal violence.
