Risk and protective factors that distinguish adolescents who attempt suicide from those who only consider suicide in the past year.
Taliaferro, L.~~Muehlenkamp, J.
Data from the 2010 Minnesota Student Survey was analyzed to identify risk and protective factors that distinguished adolescents across three groups: no suicidality, suicidal ideation only, and suicide attempt. The population-based sample included 70,022 students in grades 9 and 12. Hopelessness and depressive symptoms emerged as important risk factors to distinguish youth who reported suicidal ideation or behavior from those without a history of suicidality.
