Investigating the iatrogenic effects of repeated suicidal ideation screening on suicidal and depression symptoms: A staggered sequential study

摘要

Background: Research suggests that screening for suicidality does not have iatrogenic effects; however, less is known regarding the impact of repeatedly screening for suicidal ideation among individuals with varying levels of exposure to these screenings. This staggered sequential study evaluated whether suicidal ideation severity increases with repeated screening for suicidal ideation and depression symptoms.
