SP - 797 EP - 806 VL - 40 IS - 6 N2 - This article examined the relationship between suicide behaviors and displacement, as defined by out-of-home placement, in a sample of juvenile-justice-involved youth with mental health issues. Participants included boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 18 who were enrolled in a juvenile justice diversion program for children with mental or behavioral health problems. Data collected included youth-reported suicide and self-harm ideation, caregiver reports of previous suicide attempts, and whether the youth had been in an out-of-home placement in the year prior to enrollment in the program. Logistic regression analyses indicated that youth who had recently been in an out-of-home placement reported significantly less suicide ideation and marginally less self-harm ideation than youth who had not been in an out-of-home placement. Out-of-home placement status had no impact on caregiver reports of previous youth suicide attempts.
