Medscape (5/22, Brooks, Subscription Publication) reports, “Young people who [died by] suicide using a gun are often introduced to guns through family traditions and use the family gun to [die by] suicide,” researchers concluded after conducting “11 ‘psychological autopsy interviews’ with the loved ones of nine young people aged 17-21 who died by gun-related suicide.” The study team “interviewed six mothers, three fathers, one sibling, and one close friend.” The findings were presented in a poster at the American Psychiatric Association 2023 Annual Meeting.
