Thinking way upstream Really?
What if we started here with early
suicide prevention?

Thinking way upstream What might be the early malleable predictors? Could we actually change those predictors easily and reliably? And what else might change as a consequence of the prevention or protection strategies.

When are these risk factors most universally detectable?
Psychiatric problems in childhood and/or adolescence, including depression
Child and/or adolescent externalizing disorders

Thinking midstream What might be the midstream malleable predictors? • Early and current smoking • Dose response, MORE smoking =
MORE suicide risk, controlling for other variables
• Smoking affects monoamine oxidase (MAO), which increases suicide risk

Hypothesis #1 If we can reduce early aggressive or ADHD-like behavior and victimization by peers in First Grade, that might be the first step toward the long-term prevention of suicide.
Golly, almost every teacher would like it if there was more time to teach and for kids to learn.

Hypothesis #1 If we can reduce early aggressive or ADHD-like behavior and victimization by peers in First Grade, that might be the first step toward the long-term prevention of suicide.
Let’s see if we can reduce disturbing,
distracting, and inattentive
behaviors in classrooms — as
our first test.

By the early 1990s, multiple
studies including this
randomized one proved that
GBG reduced the early predictive behaviors.

Wow! In 1998, Drs. Kellam and Anthony showed that GBG reduced tobacco initiation—one of the middle predictors.

Spleems are counted and marked with neutral tone for the team, not the individual child.
Teams who have 3 or fewer Spleems win.
Winning teams earn a “Granny’s Wacky Prize”. Team having 4 or more Spleems lose that game.
PAX Minutes = winning teams x minutes played.
