TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - The experience of participation in suicide research from the perspective of individuals with bipolar disorder JO - Journal of nervous and mental disease A1 - Owen, Rebecca A1 - Gooding, Patricia A1 - Dempsey, Robert A1 - Jones, Steven SP - 840 EP - 844 VL - 204 IS - 11 N2 - Reasons underlying the elevated prevalence of suicide in bipolar disorder remain underresearched and poorly understood. Participation in suicide-focused research may pose a risk to vulnerable groups, such as those with bipolar disorder. Participants were asked to provide feedback about their experience of participating in a suicide-focused qualitative research interview. The data set was analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Qualitative themes were (1) talking about suicide was not distressing, (2) negative interview expectations, (3) personal benefits, (4) value of suicide research, (5) interview advice, and (6) talking about suicide was difficult. Suicide-focused research can be conducted with minimal participant distress. Sufficient procedures must be in place, both to identify those at risk of experiencing distress and to efficiently deal with any distress that might occur.
