N2  - OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the occurrence and associated factors with self-reported suicidal ideation within the last 12 months among Korean elementary school students. <br><br>METHODS: In a school-based cross-sectional survey, a total of 657 students were recruited from elementary schools (age range: 11??2 years) in Jeju area. They filled out self-completing questionnaires on suicidality (suicidal ideation and suicidal attempt), depression (Kovacs' Children's Depression Inventory), and sociodemographic characteristics, including school and family factors. <br><br>RESULTS: A total of 192 (29.2%) students reported suicidal ideation, and the rate of suicidal attempt was 6.1% (n=40). Logistic regression analysis identified factors associated with recent suicidal ideation. Female had higher rates of suicidal ideation than male [odds ratio (OR)=1.81, p=0.005], and students with depression (OR=3.23, p<0.001) and experience of abuse in the home (OR=6.77, p<0.001) were at high risk for suicidal ideation. <br><br>CONCLUSION: These results suggest that suicidal ideation and actions are relatively common in Korean elementary school students, and have implications for prevention and intervention.<p /> <p>Language: ko</p>
