TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - An analysis of suicidal ideation in a college sample JO - Archives of suicide research A1 - Jeglic, Elizabeth L. A1 - Pepper, Carolyn M. A1 - Vanderhoff, Holly A. A1 - Ryabchenko, Karen A. SP - 41 EP - 56 VL - 11 IS - 1 N2 - Two studies were designed to develop and validate a model of current suicidal ideation. In Study 1, students that reported past suicide attempts (n = 48) were compared to controls (n = 49) on nine variables previously linked to suicidal behavior. In the resulting model, borderline personality characteristics and social support were found to correlate with current suicidal ideation, supporting a mediating model. In Study 2, the Borderline/Social Support (BTSS) model was validated in an independent sample. Implications for risk assessment, prevention and treatment of suicidal college students are discussed.
