John L. McIntosh studies suicide and its aftermath, with a particular focus on the people left behind after a suicide (known as suicide bereavement or 'loss survivors'). The research examines who is most affected, what helps them cope, and broader patterns in suicide statistics, including physician-assisted death. Studies draw on large surveys and long-term data to understand grief, mental health, and access to support.
