N2  - OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of traumatic grief on suicidal ideation. METHOD: The Beck-Kovacs Scale for Suicidal Ideation was administered to 76 young adult friends of suicide victims. RESULTS: Traumatic grief was associated with a 5.08 times greater likelihood of suicidal ideation, after control for depression. Comorbid traumatic grief and depression were not associated with a greater likelihood of suicidal ideation. CONCLUSIONS: Syndromal traumatic grief heightens vulnerability to suicidal ideation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
