abstract="OBJECTIVES: A relationship between anxiety disorders and suicide-related behaviors has been demonstrated in adolescents, with a paucity of research examining mediators of this association. The present study hypothesized that anxiety would be associated with suicidal ideation via a serial mediation pathway through depressive symptoms and perceived burdensomeness and/or thwarted belongingness. <br><br>METHODS: A sample of 80 adolescents (68.8% female, 65.8% Hispanic), 13-19 years of age (mean = 16.93, SD = 1.66), completed three interviews as part of a randomized controlled trial. <br><br>RESULTS: Results indicated a significant serial mediation from anxiety to suicidal ideation via depressive symptoms and perceived burdensomeness, but not thwarted belongingness. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Clinicians and mental health service providers working with adolescents experiencing elevated anxiety should regularly assess for perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
