Network analysis provides a novel approach to examining the PTSD-SITB relationship. This study utilized the network approach to elucidate how individual PTSD symptoms may drive and maintain SITB.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720002263_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We estimated cross-sectional networks in two samples of trauma-exposed adults (Sample 1: <jats:italic>N =<\/jats:italic> 349 adults; Sample 2: <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic> = 1307 Veterans) to identify PTSD symptoms that may act as bridges to SITB. Additionally, we conducted a cross-lagged panel network in Sample 2 to further clarify the temporal relationship between PTSD symptoms and SITB during a 2-year follow-up. Finally, in both samples, we conducted logistic regressions to examine the utility of PTSD symptoms in prospectively predicting SITB, over a 15-day period (Sample 1) and over a 2-year period (Sample 2), allowing us to examine both short- and long-term prediction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291720002263_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two PTSD symptoms (i.e. negative beliefs and risky behaviors) emerged as highly influential on SITB in both cross-sectional networks. In the cross-lagged panel network, distorted blame emerged as highly influential on SITB over time.
