The present article investigates the traumatic brain injury (TBI)-suicide link, assessing whether (a) TBI accounts for variance in suicide risk, and (b) the interpersonal-psychological theory of suicide can be applied to TBI status. Matched case-control procedures applied to archival college student health data identified TBI and non-TBI subsamples (84 total). Individuals with a TBI possessed higher suicide risk than those without. Even accounting for the relative influence of strong suicide risk factors (i.e., depression, perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and acquired capability), TBI was robustly associated with suicide risk. TBI history would be valuable to ascertain in assessing suicide risk.
本文研究创伤性脑损伤（TBI）与自杀之间的联系，评估（a）TBI是否是自杀风险差异的原因，以及（b）自杀的人际心理理论是否适用于TBI情况。将匹配的病例对照程序应用于存档的大学生健康数据，确定了TBI和非TBI子样本（共84个）。有TBI的个体比没有TBI的个体具有更高的自杀风险。即使考虑到强烈自杀风险因素（即抑郁、感知到的负担感、归属感受挫和习得的能力）的相对影响，TBI与自杀风险仍有密切关联。在评估自杀风险时，确定TBI病史将很有价值。
