Inside the Research
Question: Does chronic inflammation with sensitivity to environmental toxins indicate a subtype of suicide risk?
Strategy: Using a well-characterized database of suicide decedents in Utah, medical, psychiatric, genetic, and demographic data will be analyzed along with pollution and pollen exposure data.
Impact: Identification of a subtype of suicide with potential for targeted intervention.
