Early intervention efforts need to focus on subgroups of the population who are more likely to transition from ideation to suicidal plans and attempts. The current study utilised data from a large nationally representative sample to investigate the time taken to transition and the demographic and mental health correlates of transitioning to suicidal plans and attempts among those with suicidal ideation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291721001501_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were from 1237 Australians aged 16\u201385 years who reported suicidal thoughts at some point in their life. Discrete time survival analysis was used to retrospectively examine the time in years and correlates of transitioning from suicidal ideation to suicide plans and suicide attempt.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291721001501_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority of those who transitioned to suicide plans or attempts typically did so within 2 years of first experiencing suicidal ideation. Several factors were independently associated with increased speed to transition, including alcohol use disorder, drug use disorder, major depressive episode, obsessive compulsive disorder, sexual minority status, and non-urban location. Older age, being male, older age of first ideation and greater family support were associated with a slower transition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291721001501_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The current study suggests that pre-existing mental or substance use disorders, particularly drug use disorder, as well as sexual minority status, sex and greater family support play an important role in the transition from suicidal ideation to plans or attempts. These results highlight the potential importance of suicide prevention programs that aim to improve social connectedness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291721001501","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,30]],"date-time":"2021-04-30T07:57:21Z","timestamp":1619769441000},"page":"258-266","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Factors associated with the time to transition from suicidal ideation to suicide plans and attempts in the Australian general population"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8452-364X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthew","family":"Sunderland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip J.","family":"Batterham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison L.","family":"Calear","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cath","family":"Chapman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Slade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0033291721001501_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrn3104"},{"key":"S0033291721001501_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sltb.12379"},{"key":"S0033291721001501_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2011.03.050"},{"key":"S0033291721001501_ref32","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0018697"},{"key":"S0033291721001501_ref18","unstructured":"Lawrence, D. , Johnson, S. , Hafekost, J. , Boterhoven de Haan, K. , Sawyer, M. , Ainley, J. , & Zubrick, S.
