abstract="This study involves all suicidal attempts of individuals between the ages of 12-20 years who presented to Jordan University Hospital over a period of three years starting in 1995. The above were compared in regards to changes that had occurred in their lives with a neurotic disorders group and a control group. The data was collected by using the Adolescent Life Change Events Questionnaire (ALCEQ). The objective of this study was to examine the role of life events in precipitating suicidal behaviour in adolescents in Jordan. Results showed that conflict with their families, scholastic failure and breaks with close friends are the most frequent events which precipitate suicidal behaviour in adolescents.<p />",
