N2  - This study examined a comprehensive set of adolescent and family needs and strengths associated with acute suicidal ideation and/or behavior among youth using mental health services in Indiana (U.S.). Youth (n = 3292) were assessed with the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths questionnaire. <br><br>FINDINGS revealed that mental health issues (depression, psychosis) were the most important cofactors of acute suicidal ideation and/or behavior, followed by high-risk behaviors and psychosocial adjustment (non-suicidal self-injury, harmful behavior, aggression, sleep disruption), and strengths (optimism). Family and caregiver needs were not significant predictors after controlling for other variables. Prevention and outpatient treatment among adolescents should encompass a wide array of individual needs and strengths.<p/>  <p>Language: en</p>
