【 摘 要 】

On the question of timing, Sullins argued that Blosnich et al. (2020) analyses, which relied on the association of lifetime exposure with SOCE and lifetime suicide morbidity, failed to establish whether SOCE exposure preceded suicide morbidity. This is a valid critique, as Blosnich et al. (2020) already said, “To probe causal relationships, future survey items ought to attend to issues of the timing of […] SOCE (e.g., age of first and last experiences)” (p. 1029, emphasis added). Sullins' purported correction of this limitation uses data on last exposure to SOCE and, relying on this analysis, he incorrectly claimed that his findings demonstrate that SOCE is not associated with suicidal behavior.
