Longitudinal categorical data from the Family Transitions Project was used to investigate whether yearly prevalence rates of adolescent suicidal episodes follow different patterns by gender. The sample included 1,248 rural European Americans, ages 11-19. Multiple-group growth models revealed that peak levels of past-year ideation & plans occurred during mid-adolescence for girls, but slowly increased through […]

Population rates of suicide ideation, suicide plans or attempted suicide from 3 independent multinational epidemiological surveys were not significantly associated with national intelligence quotient figures. This result conflicts with previous evidence from cross-national studies of a positive ecological correlation between level of national intelligence & rates of completed suicide. Across nations, the indications for the […]
