Compared to community samples, rates of suicide are much higher in forensic and correctional settings, yet limited research has focused on the development and improvement of suicide assessment methods used in such contexts. Moreover, despite evidence that suicide assessment varies across Caucasians and African Americans, to our knowledge this important issue has received little attention within higher risk correctional samples. We used Item Response Theory and Differential Item Functioning analyses to address this gap within the literature.

涉及正义的样本中跨种族的自杀意念：项目反应理论方法

与社区样本相比，法医和惩戒环境中的自杀率要高得多，但有限的研究集中在此类环境中使用的自杀评估方法的开发和改进上。此外，尽管有证据表明白种人和非裔美国人的自杀评估各不相同，但据我们所知，这一重要问题在高风险矫正样本中很少受到关注。我们使用项目反应理论和差异项目功能分析来解决文献中的这一差距。
