Abstract: Suicide is the third leading cause of death of adolescents in the U.S. (CDC, 2004) with one suicide occurring every two hours (AAS, 2006). Adolescent substance users are at high risk for suicide. This study examined suicide risk and resilience factors in adjudicated adolescent substance abusers. Attempters (n = 24) had more risk factors and fewer resilience factors compared to nonattempters (n = 48) including family suicide attempt(s)/completions, depression, fewer reasons for living, and less suicide resilience. Recent losses, number/type of legal charges, sexual orientation, and child abuse did not differ between groups. Implications for suicide risk assessment are discussed. |
