The cohort included all adults who were released from US jails in 2019. Data analysis and calculations were performed between June 2021 and February 2024.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>The outcomes were percentage of total adult suicides within years 1 and 2 after jail release and associated crude mortality rates (CMRs), standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), and relative risks (RRs) of suicide in incarcerated vs not recently incarcerated adults. Taylor expansion formulas were used to calculate the variances of CMRs, SMRs, and other ratios. Random-effects restricted maximum likelihood meta-analyses were used to estimate suicide SMRs in postrelease years 1 and 2 from 10 jurisdictions. Alternate estimate was computed using the ratio of suicides after release to suicides while incarcerated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Included in the analysis were 2019 estimates for 7\u202f091\u202f897 adults (2.8% of US adult population; 76.7% males and 23.3% females) who were released from incarceration at least once, typically after brief pretrial stays. The RR of suicide was 8.95 (95% CI, 7.21-10.69) within 1 year after jail release and 6.98 (95% CI, 4.21-9.76) across 2 years after release. A total of 27.2% (95% CI, 18.0%-41.7%) of all adult suicide deaths occurred in formerly incarcerated individuals within 2 years of jail release, and 19.9% (95% CI, 16.2%-24.1%) of all adult suicides occurred within 1 year of release (males: 23.3% [95% CI, 20.8%-25.6%]; females: 24.0% [95% CI, 19.7%-36.8%]). The alternate method yielded slightly larger estimates. Another 0.8% of adult suicide deaths occurred during jail stays.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>This cohort modeling study found that adults who were released from incarceration at least once make up a large, concentrated population at greatly elevated risk for death by suicide; therefore, suicide prevention efforts focused on return to the community after jail release could reach many adults within 1 to 2 years of jail release, when suicide is likely to occur. Health systems could develop infrastructure to identify these high-risk adults and provide community-based suicide screening and prevention.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2024.9965","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T15:31:38Z","timestamp":1715355098000},"page":"e249965","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Share
