SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Given that suicidal behaviour is a pressing concern in inflammatory bowel disease populations, this study sought to model the sequence of variables that lead to its development. Participants (n = 282) completed online self-report questionnaires regarding predictors of suicidal behaviour. A cross-sectional model of the progression from symptoms to suicide risk revealed that biomedical variables were significantly associated with psychosocial predictors of suicidal behaviour, which were significantly related to theory-driven predictors of suicidal behaviour, which were ultimately associated with suicide risk. Evidently, interventions need to target distal predictors of suicidal behaviour to mitigate harmful downstream effects.
