“…For example, critical work has identified that individuals living in rural areas with less access to comprehensive mental healthcare are at heightened risk for firearm suicide (Searles et al , 2014). Similarly, perceived access to healthcare and its relationship to suicide attempts have also been explored in the literature (Abar et al , 2018). Indeed, work has suggested that addressing these barriers to care can reduce repeated suicide attempts.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between rates of firearm homicide in New York State (NYS) and indicators of access to and quality of healthcare from 2011 to 2017. Design/methodology/approach Utilizing data from the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services Uniform Crime Reporting Supplemental Homicide Reports and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation County Health Rankings Program, a county-level ecologic study was conducted, descriptive statistics provided and multivariable analyses conducted to determine the associations between critical indicators of county health and firearm homicide. Findings The majority of firearm homicide victims (n=2,619) were young, Black, men and the highest rates of firearm homicide were situated in urban centers. Subgroup analyses excluding large urban centers and controlling for key demographics illustrated that those counties with lower rates of clinicians were significantly associated with higher rates of firearm homicide. Research limitations/implications Despite challenges integrating two large data sets, the present findings were able to illustrate the critical relationship between access to healthcare and prevalence of firearm homicide. Practical implications The results of this study reinforce the importance of access to primary healthcare services and its relationship to critical health outcomes. Social implications In urban settings, firearm homicides disproportionately impact young Black men, who are among the least likely to have access to healthcare. In more rural areas, access to healthcare is related directly to improved health outcomes, including reduced rates of firearm homicides. Originality/value This is the first study to explore and subsequently establish the relationship between indicators of community health and firearm homicide in NYS.

“…Within one year, the drop-out rate could be as high as 79% (Monti, et al, 2003). Research has been done to identify patients' perceived barriers to outpatient care, including lack of transportation and stigma, to address this poor initial attendance and high dropout rate (Abar et. al., 2018;Blocker & Miller, 2013).…”

Objective: Suicide is a leading cause of death around the world. In the United States, the suicide rate continues to increase with US Emergency Departments seeing over 500,000 suicide-related visits each year. Authors conducted a systematic literature review to determine the range of interventions administered in the ED. Methods: This is the first systematic literature review of this topic. The review is limited to studies conducted in Emergency Departments located in the United States with interventions that were initiated in the ED setting. Results: Of the 2,735 titles and abstracts identified, eight studies met the inclusion criteria. A narrow range of suicide prevention interventions are administered in the ED. Conclusions: Opportunities exist for additional types of suicide prevention interventions in the ED.

“…Patients who had just attempted suicide provided researchers with insight into perceived access and barriers to mental health care via survey in the work of Abar et al (2018). Following a suicide attempt, 18 individuals, including both men and women, were surveyed on their perceptions of access and barriers to care during their admission in the emergency department at a hospital.…”

The delivery of psychological services including screening, assessing, and providing interventions to suicidal individuals occurs within all public and organized care settings where psychologists practice. These services are typically the most demanding and important clinical tasks these psychologists will perform. To inform aspects of such practice, the journal issued a call for papers and 16 of the articles received in response are part of this special issue and reviewed in this Introduction. These articles inform three broad psychological service perspectives: conceptual models and assessment, interventions, and special populations and cultures. From female firefighters and adolescent girls with chronic pain, to our veterans and military personnel and those incarcerated, the samples drawn, studied, and written about in this special issue represent an effort to address our current need for actionable knowledge in this area. The opening section presents four papers on models and assessments, the next considers individual and group interventions and perspectives on access to care, and the final section walks us through a myriad of special populations and cultures to understand facets of the prediction and prevention of suicide.
