TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Adolescents exposed to suicidal behavior of others: Prevalence of self-harm and associated psychological, lifestyle, and life event factors JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - McMahon, Elaine M. A1 - Corcoran, Paul A1 - Keeley, Helen A1 - Perry, Ivan J. A1 - Arensman, Ella SP - 634 EP - 645 VL - 43 IS - 6 N2 - Exposure to suicidal behavior of others was examined among 3,881 Irish adolescents in the Child and Adolescent Self-harm in Europe (CASE) study. One third of the sample had been exposed to suicidal behavior, and exposed adolescents were eight times more likely to also report own self-harm. Exposed adolescents shared many risk factors with those reporting own self-harm. Those reporting both exposure and own self-harm presented the most maladaptive profile on psychological, life event, and lifestyle domains, but neither anxiety nor depression distinguished this group. Exposed adolescents are burdened by a wide range of risk factors and in need of support.
