Abstract
A cancer diagnosis results in significant distress and adverse psychosocial sequelae, including suicide, the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. Primary risks for death by suicide include depression, and opioid abuse, which are prevalent amongst cancer survivors. Yet, it remains unclear whether they are also associated with other suicidal outcomes, such as ideation, planning, and suicidal attempt. This study examined associations between suicide-related outcomes, depression and non-medical use of pain prescriptions among cancer survivors in the United States.
