Abstract
The Treatment of Adolescent Suicide Attempters study (TASA): Predictors of suicidal events in an open treatment trial.
Brent, D.~~Greenhill, L.~~et al.
In this open trial, the 6-month morbid risks for suicidal events and for reattempts were lower than those in other comparable samples, suggesting that this intervention should be studied further. Important treatment targets include suicidal ideation, family cohesion, and sequelae of previous abuse. Because 40% of events occurred with 4 weeks of intake, an emphasis on safety planning and increased therapeutic contact early in treatment may be warranted.
