Summary

The goal of this project is to assess the feasibility of collecting physiological and psychological data that will allow for preliminary investigation of predictors of suicidal ideation in an ambulatory cancer population already seeking psychosocial support.

Detailed description

Exploratory analyses will be the first step to establishing possible predictive relationships. The long-term goal of this research is to identifying an integrated model of suicidal ideation in cancer, so that providers will be better able to identify appropriate screening methods to target patients at high risk for suicide. This information will ultimately inform the development of psychosocial interventions that specifically address the variables that increase suicide risk in patients with cancer.

Conditions

• Suicidal Ideation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Survey	All data gathered will be quantitative in nature. In addition to participant completed surveys, additional demographic, and diagnosis/treatment related information will be collected from the patient's electronic medical record via Health Data Compass. Subsequent data collected as part of the patient's standard psychosocial and cancer related care (i.e., health outcomes, future utilization of UCCC psychosocial services) will also be gathered. This subsequent data collection will not include further participation, but continued access to the patient's medical record. Protected health information collected for this project will include dates (e.g., birth dates, date of diagnosis, date since last treatment, death dates) and participant zip codes. No other identifiable data will be collected. A separate survey emailed to the participant at the end of the study will collect information regarding the participant's completion status of the survey.
