Abstract
The construction and extraction workforce has one of the highest male suicide death rates, and little research has examined this relationship. Data were collected online from 259 workers within the construction and extraction industry. Structured questionnaires were used to obtain information on the prevalence of career suicidal thoughts and behaviors, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and occupational correlates for suicidality. Prevalence estimates for suicidal ideation, plans, attempts, and NSSI were 38.60%, 9.40%, 4.00%, and 8.70%, and most were elevated compared to the general population. Participants who did not identify as heterosexual were more likely to have experienced career suicidal ideation and plans (χ 2 = 11.04). The construction and extraction workforce report a high career prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors, and those who self-identify as a sexual minority may be at increased risk.
