Digital phenotypes of real-time suicidal ideation: Correlates and consequences.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Suicidal ideation variability refers to within-day fluctuations in suicidal ideation, and has recently been proposed as an indicator of suicide risk. However, not much is known yet about its correlates and clinical relevance.

Methods

We examined characteristics of real-time suicidal ideation using Ecological Momentary Assessment in 82 individuals with current active suicidal ideation. Data were collected four times daily over 21 days. Latent profile analysis was used to identify subtypes of suicidal ideation. We further examined sociodemographic and clinical correlates of the profiles, and their association with the occurrence of suicide attempts during a 1-year follow-up.

Results

We identified three "digital" phenotypes of suicidal ideation that differed
