Inside the Research
Question: What are the gene-by-environmental contributors to suicide-related behavior in people with substance dependence?
Strategy: Apply gene x environment genome-wide analysis to samples from 8,000 participants in genetic studies and 16,000 recruits from the Army STARRS study.
Impact: Uncovering of biological mechanisms of suicide-related behaviors and potential for intervention.
