Psychosocial Correlates of Suicidal Ideation in Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatients.

Kumar, Geetha; Steer, Robert A.

Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, v25 n3 p339-46 Fall 1995

Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSI) was administered to 121 adolescent inpatients. Twelve characteristics found to be associated with adolescent suicide ideation were entered into multiple regression to estimate BSI scores, along with Beck inventories for anxiety, depression (BDI), and hopelessness (BHS), and Youth Self Report. BHS and BDI were only variables contributing unique variance to explanation of BSI scores. (JPS)
