TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Suicidal ideation among Spanish schoolchildren: a three-year follow-up study of a pubertal population JO - Personality and individual differences A1 - Domenech, Edelnira A1 - Canals, Josepa A1 - Fernandez-Ballart, J SP - 1055 EP - 1057 VL - 13 IS - 9 N2 - In a 3-year follow-up study of pubertal children, about 20% of the population were found to have some suicidal ideation. The difference between the sexes was found to be non-significant. In contrast, an association between suicidal ideation and depressive symptomatology appeared only in girls. Moreover, 21.9% of the children having shown some suicidal ideation in the first year, persisted with this ideation in the following 2 years. We suggest the possibility of early detection of suicide risk in schools.
