Discriminating Suicide Ideation among High-Risk Youth.

Thompson, Elaine Adams; And Others

Journal of School Health, v64 n9 p361-67 Nov 1994

Surveys examined whether psychosocial factors (psychosocial distress, drug use, family stress, and school performance) would distinguish adolescents endorsing high suicide ideation from those who did not, focusing on potential school dropouts. High-risk students with suicide ideation had more psychosocial distress, drug involvement, family stress, and unmet school goals. (SM)
