Self-perceived burdensomeness distinguishes people with a history of suicide attempts from those without and is associated with suicidal ideation.
“Self-perceptions that one is a burden on others also differentiate between individuals with histories of suicide attempts versus no attempts (Brown, Dahlen, Mills, Rick, & Biblarz, 1999; Van Orden, Lynam, Hollar, & Joiner, 2006) and are also associated with suicidal ideation (Brown, Brown, Johnson, Olsen, Melver, & Sullivan, 2009; de Catanzaro, 1995; Van Orden, Lynam, Hollar, & Joiner, 2006).”

In a clinical sample, self-reported perceived burdensomeness cross-sectionally predicted greater severity of suicidal ideation and more past suicide attempts while controlling for age, gender, personality disorder status, depressive symptoms, and hopelessness.
“perceived burdensomeness measured by self-report in a clinical sample was shown to cross-sectionally predict greater severity of suicidal ideation and greater numbers of past suicide attempts, while controlling for age, gender, personality disorder status, depressive symptoms, and hopelessness (Van Orden, Lynam, Hollar, & Joiner, 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
