Risk for Preadolescent Suicidal Behavior: An Ecological Model

摘要: The relationship between preadolescent suicidality (ideation, threats, attempts) and subsequent adolescent suicidal behavior is well documented. We tested a six domain, ecological suicide risk model in sample of 69 outpatients (ages 5 to 12 years). correlated items from each domain with “Suicidality” as measured by the Pfeffer Spectrum Suicide Potential Scale. Three domains (Child Risk Factors, Childhood Traumas, Family Stressors) had total 19 that were significantly Suicidality (alpha < .05 level); one item fourth dimension, Social Supports, was included = .06). show children who demonstrate anxiety/depression, aggressive antisocial climate parental hostility are at for behavior.
