Familial Pathways to Suicidal Behavior — Understanding and Preventing Suicide among Adolescents

Brent, David A., Mann, J. John·2006·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

A 16-year-old boy whose brother recently committed suicide is seen in the emergency room after slashing his wrists. He reports having felt severely depressed and hopeless since his brother died and has markedly increased his alcohol intake. His depression actually began 4 years ago, after the death of his father, and has continued unabated. The patient has a history of being disciplined for fighting in school, usually after being teased or provoked by his peers. Immediately before his suicide attempt, he had a fight with his girlfriend, his mood plummeted, and he decided that he might as well be dead. . . .

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.
