“…41,42 Our results are also consistent with SCS research specifically, such that SCS occurs cross-nationally 43 and is associated with personal stressors incurred during the first year of the pandemic. 10,44 Finally, our results held up after controlling for sex, age, and college education, factors that varied widely across countries in our sample. In sum, our findings show that at both the country and individual levels of analysis, the severity of exposure to pandemic parameters is associated with increased suicidal risk.…”

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a globally devastating psychosocial impact. A detailed understanding of the mental health implications of this worldwide crisis is critical for successful mitigation of and preparation for future pandemics. Using a large international sample, we investigated in the present study the relationship between multiple COVID-19 parameters (both disease characteristics and government responses) and the incidence of the suicide crisis syndrome (SCS), an acute negative affect state associated with near-term suicidal behavior. Methods: Data were collected from 5528 adults across 10 different countries in an anonymous web-based survey between June 2020 and January 2021. Results: Individuals scoring above the SCS cut-off lived in countries with higher peak daily cases and deaths during the first wave of the pandemic. Additionally, the longer participants had been exposed to markers of pandemic severity (eg, lockdowns), the more likely they were to screen positive for the SCS. Findings reflected both country-to-country comparisons and individual variation within the pooled sample. Conclusion: Both the pandemic itself and the government interventions utilized to contain the spread appear to be associated with suicide risk. Public policy should include efforts to mitigate the mental health impact of current and future global disasters.

BackgroundThe objective of this systematic review is to describe the scientific evidence for the Suicide Crisis Syndrome (SCS), a presuicidal cognitive and affective state consisting of five symptomatic dimensions: entrapment, affective disturbance, loss of cognitive control, hyperarousal, and social withdrawal. The aim of this article is to summarize the emerging literature on the SCS and to assess the extent to which a uniform syndrome can be assumed.MethodsA systematic literature search was conducted in three different databases (PubMed, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar) using the search terms “Suicide Crisis Inventory,” “Suicide Crisis Syndrome,” “Narrative Crisis Model of Suicide,” and “Suicide Trigger State.”ResultsIn total, 37 articles from 2010 to 2022 were identified by search criteria. Twenty‐one articles published between 2017 and 2022 were included in the systematic review. All but three studies were conducted in the United States and examined clinical samples of adult high‐risk psychiatric in‐ and outpatients. Sample sizes ranged from N = 170 to 4846. The findings confirm the unidimensional structure of the proposed disorder and support the predictive validity for short‐term suicidal behavior above and beyond suicidal ideation.ConclusionDespite the promising predictive validity of the SCS, a precise prediction of future suicidal behavior remains difficult.

Open science is challenging and frequently time-consuming work, but the payoff is greater assurance that published research is transparent, conducted rigorously, and protected against some forms of researcher bias. In this editorial, we reflect on progress made toward the integration of open-science practices at Clinical Psychological Science ( CPS) 7 years after badges were introduced in the journal and 3 years after open science was initiated as an editorial priority at CPS. Along with establishing open science as an editorial priority, the first team of Open Science Advisors was established to oversee and facilitate preregistration, open materials, and open data badge applications. Here, we discuss how these practices have evolved over time, highlight best practices and common challenges in this work, and emphasize next steps for the future of open science in clinical-psychology research.
