Abstract: Pathological gamblers are at an increased risk for suicide compared to the general population. As suicide usually begins with suicidal ideations (SI), it is important to identify suicidality early to prevent this undesirable outcome. Demographic and clinical variables along with recent SI (i.e., past 7 days) were examined in a sample of 2867 callers to the Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia between 2000 and 2007. Most participants were pathological gamblers (85%) and 11% of the sample endorsed recent SIs. Univariate results indicated that gamblers with recent SIs were more likely to have a comorbid psychopathology, a family history of alcohol problems, and lower educational attainment. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found only education significantly predicted recent SI. These findings could aid in the intervention and prevention of suicide in gamblers by informing providers of the risks associated with SI in this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
