It was a two-year\r\nproject designed to evaluate the existing admissions suicide screening\r\ntool and to improve the instrument's cultural relevance for the\r\nAmerican Indian population. The existing screening instrument used in\r\nthe county jail to interview inmates at their intake was developed in\r\nNew York. The main objective of the first year of the project was to\r\ndetermine if that instrument was culturally appropriate for the jailed\r\nAmerican Indian population. The principal objective of the second year\r\nof the project was to determine whether the employment of different\r\nsuicide screening protocols would make a difference in the responses\r\nof new detainees with regard to the likelihood of securing their\r\nhonest reports of experiencing suicide ideation and its associated\r\nrisk factors. For the duration of the project, all male and female\r\ninmates aged 18 and older who were booked into the jail went through\r\nthe customary booking procedure that included the administration of\r\nthe New York Suicide Prevention Screening Guidelines. In the first\r\nyear of the project, researchers also administered a short self-report\r\nsurvey consisting of measures commonly associated with suicidal\r\nideation. The self-report survey measured stress, anxiety, suicide\r\nideation, hopelessness, and suicidal behavior history. The protocols\r\nin the second year of the project reflected efforts to test different\r\nscreening conditions for four experimental groups and one control\r\ngroup of new detainees. The outcome variables of the short self-report\r\nsurvey consisted of measures of demographics, comfort experience\r\nduring booking and the screening process, self-efficacy and management\r\nof depression, knowledge of mental health support available within the\r\njail, and general well-being. In addition to the quantitative data\r\ncollection, qualitative data were also collected to develop a\r\nstraightforward assessment of suicide ideation criteria in this\r\nspecific jail setting using semi-structured focus group interviews.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR03925.v1", "title": "Suicide and Risk Behaviors in an Incarcerated American Indian Population in the Northern Plains [United States], 1999-2000"}], "identifier": "3357", "issued": "2004-07-30T00:00:00", "keyword": ["Native Americans", "cultural influences", "emotional states", "jail inmates", "suicide", "suicide prevention"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2006-03-30T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "rights": "These data are restricted due to the increased risk of violation of confidentiality of respondent and subject data.", "title": "Suicide and Risk Behaviors in an Incarcerated American Indian Population in the Northern Plains [United States], 1999-2000"}
