DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Suicide is a significant public health problem among American college students.1-4 Suicidal college students tend not to seek help in their time of crisis, and when they do seek help they overwhelmingly turn to peers (i.e., friends, roommates, intimate partners).1,5,6 Peers respond in different ways, such as talking with the suicidal peer alone, telling a trusted adult (such as a teacher or resident advisor), advising the peer to seek help, or ignoring the situation.1,5,7 There is currently little understanding of how college students experience a suicidal peer or the factors that predict prosocial helping behavior toward a suicidal peer. This mixed-methods study will use a prosocial helping behavior model to overcome this limitation and will meet the following two research aims: (1) qualitatively understand how undergraduate college students experience a suicidal peer and (2) quantitatively identifying the factors that predict helping behavior toward a suicidal peer. Qualitative interviews will be conducted among college students with prior experience with a suicidal peer and quantitative surveys will be administered to college students regardless of prior experience. In both qualitative and quantitative arms of this study situational, bystander, victim, arousal, decisional balance and behavioral characteristics will be explored.

描述（由申请人提供）：自杀是美国大学生中一个重要的公共卫生问题。1 -4自杀的大学生在危机时刻往往不寻求帮助，当他们寻求帮助时，他们绝大多数会求助于同龄人（即，朋友、室友、亲密伴侣）。1，5，6同伴以不同的方式做出反应，例如单独与自杀同伴交谈，告诉信任的成年人（如教师或居民顾问），建议同伴寻求帮助，或忽视情况。7.目前对大学生如何体验自杀同伴或预测自杀同伴的亲社会帮助行为的因素知之甚少。同类行业本研究将采用一个亲社会帮助行为模型来克服这一局限性，并将满足以下两个研究目标：（1）定性地了解本科大学生如何体验自杀同伴;（2）定量地确定预测帮助行为的因素。定性访谈将在有自杀同伴经历的大学生中进行，定量调查将对大学生进行，无论他们有没有自杀经历。在定性和定量的武器，这项研究的情景，旁观者，受害者，唤醒，决策平衡和行为特征将进行探讨。
