Suicide is the third leading cause of death in adolescence, and medically serious suicide attempts occur in approximately 3% of adolescents. This review examines a number of risk factors that contribute to suicidal behavior. A prior suicide attempt is one of the best predictors of both a repeat attempt and eventual completed suicide. Depression, disruptive behavior disorders, and substance-use disorders also place adolescents at high risk for suicidal behavior, with comorbidity further…

Neighborhood poverty and suicidal thoughts and attempts in late adolescence
TLDR
Neighbourhood poverty is significantly associated with suicidal thoughts and attempts in late adolescence over and above background vulnerabilities, and this association can be explained by late-adolescence psychosocial risks.
Suicide and suicidal behavior.
TLDR
Examination of prevalence of, trends in, and risk and protective factors for suicidal behavior in the United States and cross-nationally revealed significant cross-national variability in the prevalence of suicidal behavior but consistency in age of onset, transition probabilities, and key risk factors.
The impact of exposure to peer suicidal self-directed violence on youth suicidal behavior: a critical review of the literature.
TLDR
The results demonstrate that having a friend or acquaintance attempt suicide is significantly related to risk for suicidal thoughts and behavior, but the support for the relationship between the suicide of a peer and youth suicidal behavior was less consistent.
The Unique Role of Stressful Life Events in Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors Among Adolescents
Depressive symptomatology is a significant predictor of adolescent suicide, but it may be insufficient to explain what motivates a suicide attempt. By comparison, stressful life events potentially…
Suicide and Youth: Risk Factors
TLDR
Key risk factors found were: mental disorders, previous suicide attempts, specific personality characteristics, genetic loading and family processes in combination with triggering psychosocial stressors, exposure to inspiring models and availability of means of committing suicide.
The co-occurrence of non-suicidal self-injury and attempted suicide among adolescents: distinguishing risk factors and psychosocial correlates
TLDR
The purpose of this paper is to present current research on the co-occurrence of attempted suicide and NSSI, including prevalence and associations with self-injury characteristics, and to discuss psychosocial variables associated with engaging in both N SSI and attempted suicide or one type of self-Injury alone.
Suicidal Behavior and Alcohol Abuse
TLDR
Evidence of the relationship between alcohol use and suicide through a search of MedLine and PsychInfo electronic databases is reviewed and multiple genetically-related intermediate phenotypes might influence the relationshipBetween alcohol and suicide.
Prospective predictors of adolescent suicidality: 6-month post-hospitalization follow-up
TLDR
In a very high-risk population, risk factors for future attempts may be more difficult to ascertain and some established risk factors may not distinguish as well, and cross-cutting constructs that underlie multiple psychiatric disorders may be stronger predictors of recurrent suicide events than psychiatric diagnoses.
Assessment, referral, and treatment of suicidal adolescents.
TLDR
An understanding of risk factors, protective factors, interviewing, and safety planning for a suicidal adolescent is essential for preparing general pediatric practitioners to address this important public health issue.

TLDR
A family history of suicidal behavior is associated with suicidal behavior in the proband, even after adjusting for presence of psychiatric disorders in the Proband and family, indicating transmission of attempt that is distinct from family transmission of psychiatric disorder.
Adolescent substance use and suicidal behavior: a review with implications for treatment research.
TLDR
Results suggest that substance use heightens statistical risk for suicidal behavior in adolescent clinical and community populations, and different theoretical models that might explain the high rates of co-occurring substance use and suicidal behavior among adolescents are proposed.

TLDR
Lability to suicidal behavior might be familially transmitted as a trait independent of Axis I and II disorders.

TLDR
Postvention programs not only should focus on the prevention of imitation of suicidal behavior, but also should provide longer term follow-up for potentially bereaved and depressed youth exposed to suicide.

TLDR
A monolithic diagnostic risk profile for suicidality, ignoring gender- and age-specific risks, is inadequate and the contribution of substance abuse/dependence in the escalation from suicidal thoughts to suicide attempts is underscored.
Reasons for adolescent suicide attempts: associations with psychological functioning.
TLDR
Systematic assessment of the reasons for a suicide attempt is a useful tool for clinicians in determining recommendations for follow-up treatment and high levels of depression and socially prescribed perfectionism predicted death as the primary reason reported for the suicide attempt.
Peripubertal suicide attempts in offspring of suicide attempters with siblings concordant for suicidal behavior.
TLDR
Familial loading for suicide attempts may affect rates of transmission as well as age at onset of suicidal behavior, and its effect may be mediated by the familial transmission of impulsive aggression.
Early psychosocial risks for adolescent suicidal ideation and attempts.
TLDR
Suicidal ideation at age 15 was a marker of distress with long-term implications for later functioning, and the early gender-specific risk factors for suicidal behavior identified can aid in developing strategies for prevention and early intervention.
Familial pathways to early-onset suicide attempt: risk for suicidal behavior in offspring of mood-disordered suicide attempters.
TLDR
The offspring of mood-disordered suicide attempters are at markedly increased risk for suicide attempts themselves, and early treatment of mood disorders and targeting impulsive aggression and sexual trauma may be helpful in the prevention and treatment of suicidal behavior in families with mood disorders.
