TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Psychosocial-environmental risk factors for suicide attempts in adolescents with suicidal ideation: findings from a sample of 73,238 adolescents JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Kim, Sun Mi A1 - Baek, Ji Hyun A1 - Han, Doug Hyun A1 - Lee, Young Sik A1 - Yurgelun-Todd, Deborah A. SP - 477 EP - 487 VL - 45 IS - 4 N2 - We determined risk factors that discriminate between suicide attempt (SA) adolescents and suicidal ideation only (SI only) adolescents using data from the 2010 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (12-19 years; N = 73,238). In males, heavy alcohol use, drug use, and high perceived sadness/hopelessness showed significant effects on the presence of SA versus the presence of SI only. In females, along with these variables, low academic achievement, poor perceived health status, high perceived stress, and unhealthy coping strategy were also significantly related to the presence of SA versus SI only. Therefore, clinical interventions targeting adolescents' psychological distress are warranted to prevent suicide.
