1 SUICIDE IN OLDER ADULTS: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED? Kelly C. Cukrowicz, Ph.D. Professor Department of Psychological Sciences Texas Tech University
2 MEN WOMEN Women
3 Prevalence of Suicide Across the Lifespan 44,965 deaths by suicide in 2016 in the United States 10 th ranking cause of death in the U.S. 3.4 male deaths by suicide for every female death by suicide More specific information White males: 31,032 rate of 24.8 per 100,000 (10.9 for non-white males) Firearms accounted for 51% of deaths
4 4 Prevalence of Suicide in Older Adults 8,204 deaths by suicide in 2016 in the United States among those 65+ Rate is for men vs for women 65+ (16.66 overall rate per 100,000) Rate of death by suicide increases steadily from age 65 to 85, with the highest rate of suicide deaths among older adults ages 85 and older (CDC, 2014). 4.6 male deaths by suicide for every female death by suicide More specific information White males more frequently die by suicide (more than 2x other races) Firearms accounted for 70% of deaths in this age group
5 Risk Factors vs. Warning Signs Risk factors Increase vulnerability for suicide ideation and suicidal behavior Tend to be more stable (e.g., psychiatric disorder, history of suicidal behavior, gender) Warning signs Indicate risk is high right now Tend to be more likely to change in the short term (e.g., agitation, mood changes, anger)
6 Empirically Demonstrated Risk Factors for Suicide Psychiatric Disorders Approximately 70-95% of adults had a psychiatric disorder at the time of their suicide death Affective Disorders Major depression 44% to 87% Other mood disorders 11% to 36% Alcohol abuse/dependence 3% to 43% Lesser role: psychotic disorder, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, dementia, eating disorders
7 Empirically Demonstrated Risk Factors for Suicide History of suicidal behavior Previous suicidal behavior especially concerning if multiple attempt history History of self-harm Expression of severe thoughts of suicide Plans/preparations for suicide Access to means for suicide 51% of suicide decedents use guns and more than 50% of the US population own guns; 2/3 of gun deaths are suicide deaths Presence of a gun in the home has been significantly associated with suicide deaths Handguns Risk greater for men
8 Empirically Demonstrated Risk Factors for Suicide Affective experiences hopelessness agitation sleep disruption Social isolation living alone low social interaction family discord Negative life events financial problems physical illness childhood abuse combat exposure Personality traits impulsivity rigid and independent style
9 Physical Health Approximately 70% of suicide decedents had significant physical illness HIV/AIDS, Huntington s disease, multiple schlerosis, peptic ulcer, renal disease, spinal cord injury (Harris & Barraclough, 1994) Physical illness burden, serious physical condition, functional impairment
10 Warning Signs IS PATH WARM? Ideation Substance abuse Purposelessness Anxiety Trapped Hopelessness Withdrawal Anger Recklessness Mood changes Reported suicide or death ideation Increased substance use No reason for living or sense of purpose Anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep Feeling trapped, no way out Hopelessness Withdrawal from friends, family Rage, uncontrolled anger Acting reckless, risky behaviors Dramatic mood changes
11 This is a lot of information How do we organize it and use it? A good theory can be really helpful.
12 Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (Joiner, 2005) Perceived Burden + Thwarted Belonging Acquired Capability I fear I m a burden. No one cares about me. I have attempted suicide. I have experienced a lot of pain in my life. Death by Suicide or Near-Lethal Suicide Attempt
13 What is perceived burdensomeness? The sense that one does not contribute to others in their life Others would be better off without him or her These perceptions lead to emotionally painful thoughts of self-hatred Van Orden, K. A., Witte, T. K., Cukrowicz, K. C. et al. (2010). The interpersonal theory of suicide. Psychological Review, 117,
14 What is thwarted belongingness? A sense of feeling disconnected from others Feeling alone, even in the presence of others Feeling that he/she doesn t care about people and they don t care about/support him/her Van Orden, K. A., Witte, T. K., Cukrowicz, K. C. et al. (2010). The interpersonal theory of suicide. Psychological Review, 117,
15 What is acquired capability? The loss of the fear of suicidal behaviors Acquired over time through exposure to physically painful and/or fear inducing experiences Over time, these experiences result in lowered fear of death and greater pain tolerance Van Orden, K. A., Witte, T. K., Cukrowicz, K. C. et al. (2010). The interpersonal theory of suicide. Psychological Review, 117,
16 The Interpersonal Theory of Suicide Loneliness Death Ideation Thwarted Belongingness Nonreciprocal Care Self Resentment Hopelessness Desire for Suicide Suicidal Intent Lethal or Near Lethal Suicide Attempt Liability Perceived Burdensomeness Lowered Fear of Death Increased Pain Tolerance Death Ideation Acquired Capability Van Orden, K. A., Witte, T. K., Cukrowicz, K. C. et al. (2010). The interpersonal theory of suicide. Psychological Review, 117,
17 Importance of Suicide Ideation We can think of suicide ideation as a critical flag for those who might die by suicide BUT we must keep in mind some important things: Many people at risk for suicide do not disclose thoughts of suicide. Lots of people who think about suicide do not ever harm themselves. Suicide ideation can be chronic.
18 Example: Reporting Concerns with Suicide Risk in Older Adults Research suggests that older adults may not report suicide ideation even when they experience suicide ideation Contradiction 1 Rate of deaths by suicide increases in late life Rate of self-reported suicide ideation decreases with increasing age Contradiction 2 Older males more likely to die by suicide Suicide ideation has not been shown to be greater in older males than in females
19 So What Do We Do When Things Don t Add Up? Person who denies thoughts of suicide, but their actions suggest otherwise They have some of the risk factors or warning signs mentioned above
20 Example Distribution for Illustration
21 Study of Suicide Ideation in Older Adults We wanted to know whether the variables that are part of the interpersonal theory (thwarted belonging, perceived burden, hopelessless) are more painful when experienced together Do people who feel thwarted belonging and perceived burdensomeness report the greatest suicide ideation if they also feel hopeless? Would elevated scores on these three variables allow us to identify those who deny thoughts of suicide, but report other experiences that are highly associated with suicide ideation (i.e., depressive symptoms, isolation).
22 Novel Statistical Approach: Zero-Inflated Modeling Allows for estimation of both the zero and positive responses to questionnaires assessing suicide ideation. Some zeros arise from participants who deny suicide ideation and have little or no psychological distress (non-ideators) Additional zeros may arises from participants who deny suicide ideation while reporting other empirically-based risk factors (e.g., depression, hopelessness) for suicide ideation (potential ideators)
23 What Our Distributions Look Like Death ideation = 66 occurrences of zero Suicide ideation = 104 occurrences of zero
24
25 Figure 2. Probability of Non-ideator Status (Excess Zero) as a Function of Perceived Burdensomeness and Hopelessness Along the Continuum of Scores for Thwarted Belonging. TB = Thwarted Belonging, BHS = Beck Hopelessness Scale.
26 What The Data Tells Us Increasing scores on thwarted belonging, perceived burdensomeness, and hopelessness are associated with: Greater probability that an individual may be experiencing thoughts of suicide, whether or not they are reported. The presence or absence of suicide ideation, but less important to determining the severity of thoughts of suicide.
27 Implications Perceived burden, thwarted belonging, and hopelessness should be key targets in the determination of whether someone might be experiencing thoughts of suicide Regardless of whether the person is reporting such thoughts Questions assessing perceived burden and thwarted belonging may be less threatening to endorse than thoughts of suicide Mental health practitioners should target perceptions of being a burden, a sense of thwarted belonging, and hopelessness to reduce the risk of developing suicide ideation
28 Suicide in Rural Communities Suicide is also prevalent among rural-dwelling adults in the U.S. and in countries around the world (Hirsch, 2006) Rural communities have had significantly higher rates of death by suicide than those in urban areas throughout the past two decades (Hirsch, 2006) Rural older adults are 30% 50% more likely to die by suicide when compared to older adults residing in urban locations (Baume & Clinton, 1997)
29 Extending this Research to Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Rural Communities Primary goals: To determine a preliminary estimate of the prevalence of suicide ideation, self-injury, and history of suicide attempts in rural communities. To examine risk factors that may be unique to rural locations.
30 What We ve Learned 25% 30% 20% 25% 15% 20% 10% 15% 10% 5% 5% 0% Lifetime history of ideation and attempts Suicide ideation in past year Previous attempt Suicidal communications 0% Lifetime history of ideation and attempts Rural Texas Previous attempt Cross-National
31 Thwarted Belonging Rural Identity Anxiety Suicide Ideation History of Suicide Attempts Economic Distress Depressive Symptoms Perceived Burden Moderators: Life Satisfaction Hope Lower Conformity to Masc. Norms Reasons for Living
32 Assessment of Suicide Risk 32
33 Eliciting Information on Suicide Risk Include questions about perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belonging, and hopeless! Normalize thoughts of suicide It sounds like you ve been experiencing a lot of emotional pain recently, others in your situation might think about suicide. Have you had any thoughts about suicide recently? Begin assessment with the past and work forward Ensure a complete picture of current experiences Frequency How often do you think about suicide? Intensity When you think about suicide, are intense are your thoughts (scale 1 to 10)? How does this compare to how intense they usually are? Duration How long have you had these thoughts? 33
