One hundred eighty veterans admitted for either SI or suicidal behavior (SB) (the prim... Read More about Predicting suicidal ideation in psychiatrically hospitalized veterans using the death/suicide Implicit Association Test: A prospective cohort study.

Suicidality and mood: the impact of trends, seasons, day of the week, and time of day on explicit and implicit cognitions among an online community sample (2023)
Journal Article
