Abstract

Utilizing data as well as factor analysis and multiple regression the previously published study, "Risk Factors Related to Suicidal Behavior Among Male and Female Adolescents" [(1996), Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 25, pp. 149-160], this follow-up study examined gender differences in risk factors that increase the probability of self-reported suicidal behavior among seventh through twelfth grade students (N = 3461) in a northern Midwest school district. The logistic regression results revealed gender differences in that the demonstration of more aggressive behaviors increased the likelihood of males reporting suicidal behavior.
