Characteristics of people who report firearm suicidal ideation in the USA
While not common, FASI is not rare and has a profile characterised by higher-intensity mental health problems, substance use, antisocial behaviour and personality traits associated with severe externalising problems and suicide. Research on FASI as a distinct construct should continue given the high lethality of firearms as a method of suicide.
