Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sasha M. Rojas's research program investigates risk factors and mechanisms associated with suicidal behavior, particularly among psychiatric patient populations. Her work has examined the independent effects of child sexual abuse and impulsivity on lifetime suicide attempts in female patients, as well as the role of PTSD comorbidity, alcohol dependence, and major depressive disorder in suicidal ideation and attempts. Rojas has also explored self-disgust as a potential mechanism linking PTSD to suicide risk and has contributed to understanding the lethality of previous suicidal behavior as a predictor of future attempts. Her publications include a systematic review of suicide risk factors in Latin America and the Caribbean, and recommendations for using clinical video telehealth with high-risk patients. Rojas's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 16, 37 total publications, and 645 total citations.
