In this podcast, we are joined by
Dr. Jessica Hamilton, Assistant Professor in the
Department of Psychology, Rutgers University, New Jersey, and
Dr. Peter Franzen, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Clinical and Translational Science at the
University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, discuss their
JCPP paper, ‘S
leep influences daily suicidal ideation through affective reactivity to interpersonal events among high-risk adolescents and young adults’ (
doi:10.1111/jcpp.13651). There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.
Discussion points include;
- How they went about examining sleep as a proximal risk factor for suicide
- Their finding that short sleep may impair how teens can regulate their already intense emotions
- Implications of their findings are for CAMH professionals
- How they envisage their findings will translate into practice
- Resources that listeners may find of use
- Advice for parents or carers, CAMH professionals and policy makers.
