Study Summary
Acute use of alcohol is related to increased risk for suicide. However, our understanding of this problem is hindered by the lack of experimental tests of conditions underlying the alcohol use-suicide relationship. The attention allocation model (AAM) proposes that alcohol intoxication limits individuals' focus to salient cues in their environment. Thus, acute use of alcohol (AUA) during negative mood states may cause people to focus their attention towards suicide-related cues in their environment, thus increasing their risk for suicide while intoxicated. The proposed pilot study tests the AAM by exploring the combined effects of AUA, mood, and alcohol expectancies on attentional bias towards suicide-related cues. The proposed study will explore the combined impact of AUA and negative mood on attentional bias towards suicide in a sample of community adults. The investigators will further explore whether individual differences in alcohol expectancies influence these associations. The investigators will conduct a 2 by 2 (alcohol/placebo by negative mood/positive mood), between-subjects experiment involving alcohol administration, a well-established mood induction paradigm, and a performance-based dependent measure of attention towards suicide-related cues. The investigators expect that individuals in the negative mood-alcohol condition to show the greatest suicide-related attentional bias. The investigators expect that alcohol expectancies related to suicide will strengthen this association, and that positive mood alcohol expectancies will weaken this association. This pilot study will provide an initial test of the feasibility of this project and the hypotheses. This study will form the basis for a larger scale study able to test the effects.
