"This study investigated relative relationships between auditory hallucinations and nonpsychotic hallucinations (pseudohallucinations), and suicidal risk," scientists writing in the Crisis - the Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention report (see also Suicide).
"A sample of 206 consecutive patients seen in an emergency psychiatric service was evaluated for the presence and intensity of hallucinatory experiences (the hallucination item of the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale), suicidal intensity (the suicide item of the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale), and cumulative suicide risk (the total number of risk factors). Individuals with nonpsychotic hallucinations experienced greater intensity of suicidal ideation versus subjects with no hallucinations or subjects with psychotic hallucinations (p = .0001)," wrote P. Penagaluri and colleagues, University of Louisville.
The researchers concluded: "Pseudohallucinosis is associated with higher intensity of suicidal ideation compared with psychotic hallucinations or no hallucinations."
Penagaluri and colleagues published their study in Crisis - the Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention (Hallucinations, Pseudohallucinations, and Severity of Suicidal Ideation Among Emergency Psychiatry Patients A Pilot Study. Crisis - the Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention, 2010;31(1):53-56).

"The goal of this study was to estimate incidence of adolescent suicide attempts and predictors of attempts. Data were collected using diagnostic interviews and questionnaires with a sample of 4,175 youths 11-17 and 3,134 followed-up a year later," scientists writing in the journal Archives of Suicide Research report (see also Suicide).
"Total incidence was 0.95% and first incidence 0.84% for attempts. We found few significant independent predictors of attempts. Multivariate analyses identified only 2 independent predictors of first incidence (marijuana use and caregiver attempts). We did find evidence for cumulative effects of risk factors, with increased odds of attempts with increasing number of risk factors. The difficulty in identifying a common set of modifiable risk factors continues to make development of effective interventions difficult," wrote R.E. Roberts and colleagues, University of Texas.
The researchers concluded: "However, based on our results and those of other researchers, the impact of the cumulative risk conferred by multiple factors would seem to offer a viable strategy for reducing risk of suicide attempts as well as other mental health outcomes among adolescents."
Roberts and colleagues published their study in Archives of Suicide Research (One-Year Incidence of Suicide Attempts and Associated Risk and Protective Factors Among Adolescents. Archives of Suicide Research, 2010;14(1):66-78).

Fresh data on suicide are presented in the report 'Patterns of distress, precipitating events, and reflections on suicide attempts by young Latinas.' "By most epidemiological accounts, young US Latinas attempt suicide more often than other youth. Little is known, however, about the circumstance and internal experiences of the attempts," scientists in the United States report (see also Suicide).
"To understand this phenomenon, we conducted thematic analyses of twenty-seven qualitative interviews with teenage Latinas (aged 11-19) living in New York City who had attempted suicide. Collected between July 2005 and July 2009, the interviews explored the emotional, cognitive and physical experiences of the attempts an
the social situations in which they took place. Results show that the girls were divisible nearly equally into a group with a stated intent of death and a group that did not intend death. The pathways to the suicidal event consisted of a pattern of continuous, escalating stress (primarily at home) that created the emotionally combustible conditions for the attempt. A trigger event that either reminded them of past stress or revived feelings of that stress catalyzed the attempt. Guilt and remorse were common responses to the suicide attempts, and on reflection the girls demonstrated some broader perspectives," wrote L. Zayas and colleagues, Washington University in St. Louis.
The researchers concluded: "Results of the analysis clarify the sociocultural context of the suicide attempts, underscoring the cultural discontinuity experienced by adolescent Latinas, who struggle to reconcile traditional Hispanic gender socialization with their own insertion in a modern Western society."
Zayas and colleagues published their study in Social Science & Medicine (Patterns of distress, precipitating events, and reflections on suicide attempts by young Latinas. Social Science & Medicine, 2010;70(11):1773-9).

Well, it's a fine mess you have here and I am not sure where to begin.
I think I would start with the list of types of research "Explain the research methods used in the article, then identify the methodological orientation that best reflects the methods used in the article." that are listed in your text and then find a research study that matched rather than find a study and then try to match the methodology. I am not sure how advanced your class is so I have no idea which level of methodology they are looking for.
Once you find the studies that match the methodology, the rest should just fall into place. If it doesn't I would suggest you ask a more direct and specific question as opposed to giving us a collection of data. It is much easier to answer if you ask us a specific question otherwise it feels like being in a homework service rather then helping with homework like I did with my kids and grand kids
(p.s. that last study listed has 27 interviews in 4 years as a base of data...not impressive at all if all they gathered was about 1 interview every 2 months).
Orignal From: Help with sociology assignment..please? Best answer for the person who helps...?
