Q. Read the following passage carefully and answer the Question No(s). 48 to 52 that follow:
Risk and protective factors play a critical role in suicide prevention. Risk factors are
characteristics that make it more likely that individuals will consider, attempt, or die by suicide.
Major risk factors include prior suicide attempt(s), mood disorders, substance abuse, and access
to lethal means. Protective factors are characteristics that make it less likely that individuals will
consider, attempt, or die by suicide. Major protective factors include effective mental health
care, connectedness, problem-solving skills, and contacts with caregivers. Risk and protective
factors are found at various levels: individual (e.g., genetic predispositions, mental disorders,
personality traits), family (e.g., cohesion, dysfunction), and community (e.g., availability of
mental health services).
Risk factors are often confused with warning signs of suicide. The two are very different.
Warning signs indicate an immediate risk of suicide, whereas risk factors indicate someone is at
heightened risk for suicide, but indicates little or nothing about immediate risk. Warning signs
