N2  - OBJECTIVE- The interpersonal theory of suicidal behavior emphasizes the constructs of perceived burdensomeness, thwarted belongingness, and acquired capacity, which warrant investigation in adolescents at-risk for suicide due to interpersonal stressors. <br><br>METHODS- This study examined one component of the interpersonal theory of suicidal behavior, "suicidal desire" (suicidal ideation), in 129 adolescents (12-15 years) recruited from a general medical emergency department who screened positive for bully victimization, bully perpetration, or low interpersonal connectedness. <br><br>RESULTS- Greater perceived burdensomeness combined with low family connectedness was a significant predictor of suicidal ideation. <br><br>CONCLUSION- This suggests the importance of addressing connectedness and perceptions of burdensomeness in prevention and early intervention efforts with at-risk adolescents.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
