Ayhan, Gulen, et al. "Suicide Risk among Prisoners in French Guiana: Prevalence and Predictive Factors." BMC Psychiatry, Vol 17, No. 1, 2017 DOI 10.1186/s12888-017-1320-4

Ayhan in this study explores the suicide risks of prisoners over the course of a year, specifically using those located in the French Guiana where suicide risk factors and general had never been explored. This territory was selected because "French inmates commit suicide 6 times more often thane men in the general population" (1). In order to evaluate the patients, newly processed inmates take a Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) in which several questions are asked to determine the individuals mental state and risk of suicide. 785 prisoners took the evaluation, with a majority being males. Ayhan's results show that 14.3% of those 785 prisoners were depressed or showed signs of depression, and 5.4Z% were at risk for committing suicide. Ayhan concludes that the hypothesis was not reported, stating that "characteristics, which we had intuitively predicted to affect suicidal risk, such as profession, early loss of relatives, family status, separation of parents in childhood, were not associated with suicidal risk" (8). Ayhan's results did show a correlation between victims of sexual abuse during their childhood and their risks of suicide, highlighting that the connection was especially prevalent in men.

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...
