Adolescent suicidal ideation and attempts: Prevalence, risk factors, and clinical implications.
Abstract
In this article we summarize findings from our program of research (the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project) as they pertain to the suicidal behavior of older (14–18-year-old) adolescents. Specifically, we (a) present information regarding the epidemiology of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts (e.g., prevalence, incidence, onset age, methods, severity); (b) describe the psychosocial characteristics associated with past and future suicide attempts, in comparison to depression; (c) discuss issues relevant to assessment and screening, including our development of a new assessment instrument, the Life Attitudes Schedule; (d) share recommendations gained from our experience in providing treatment for depressed adolescents, approximately 40% of whom had made a suicide attempt; and (e) identify gaps in current knowledge for which more research is needed.

In adolescents, suicide and NSSI are commonly observed not only in BPD, but also in bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorders, PTSD, and conduct disorder.
“For example, in adolescents, suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) are commonly observed not only in the context of BPD, but also in bipolar disorder (Goldstein et al., 2007), depression and anxiety disorders (Lewinsohn, Rohde, & Seeley 1996), PTSD (Giaconia, Reinherz, Silverman, Pakiz, Frost, & Cohen, 1995), and conduct disorder (Lewinsohn et al., 1995).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
