The geographic identification of elevated suicide risk model: evaluating a method for examining suicide-related behaviors at the neighborhood level in Harris County, Texas
The refined model may act as a helpful tool to evaluate neighborhood level risk and protective factors. Findings suggest a prevention-oriented, as opposed to risk prediction, approach to suicide risk management at the community level may be needed; such an approach would prioritize community connectedness, adequate mental health support services, and reduction of community-level risk factors (e.g., substance misuse), among others.
