The Role of the Exposome and Allostatic Load in Risk and Resilience to Youth Suicide Attempts
ABSTRACT Suicide is the second leading cause of death in US youth. Suicidal behavior is complex and is influenced by a combination of multi-level distal and proximal environmental risk factors and lifestyle factors (i.e., exposome), and biological susceptibility. Adverse exposome is key to youth suicide risk, and yet there is variability and most youth who experience adversity do not attempt suicide. To better understand this variability, we need to develop reproducible tools to quantify adverse exposome, to understand how exposome contributes to disparities in risk among minority populations, and to better understand mechanisms of resilience in high-risk youth. Additionally, we need to…
