“…On health complaints and contact with the health system the older girls score highest, significantly different from all other groups (p ≤ 0.05), and the younger boys report less contact with the health systems than the girls of the same age (p ≤ 0.05). These intercorrelations are comparable to those found by Metha et al (1998). Table III presents The model is presented with different age and gender groups as younger adolescents (11-15) differ in their development from older adolescents (16)(17)(18)(19)(20) and boys and girls differ in terms of RAP factors (Fig.…”

“…Models first included substance use onset predictors controlling for grade in school, dropout risk status, race/ethnicity, parental education, family living structure, and site. Because we expected gender differences based on the previous studies (Metha et al, 1998;Hallfors et al, 2004, Poulin et al, 2005, Hallfors et al, 2005, separate analyses were conducted by gender. The numbers of youth in each racial/ethnic category were sometimes too small to provide reliable estimates, so some models excluded the race/ethnicity variable.…”

“…The few that have, report sex differences in the relationship between drug use and depression and suicidal behaviors (Metha et al, 1998;Hallfors et al, 2004;Poulin et al, 2005). The association between substance use onset and these suicide risk factors also may vary by gender, but again, the literature is scant.…”

Objective-To examine the association between onset of substance use and risk factors related to suicide.Method-1,252 adolescents in two urban school districts completed surveys as part of a large, randomized controlled prevention effectiveness trial. Risk factors measured included depressive symptoms, suicide ideation, suicide ideation specifically with alcohol and/or drug use, endorsement of suicide as a personal option, and suicide attempt.Results-In our final multivariate models that controlled for current substance use and demographic characteristics, we found that earlier onset of hard drug use among boys was associated with all five suicide risk factors. In comparison, among girls, earlier onset of regular cigarette smoking, getting drunk, and hard drug use was associated with some of suicide risk factors.Conclusions-The findings confirm the importance of screening for substance use in early adolescence. The association between early substance use and suicide risk factors differed by gender; both research and intervention efforts need to incorporate gender differences.

“…Prior research has also documented the influence deviant friends often have on the negative behaviour of children and youth (Liu, 2004;Kandel, Raveis, & Davies, 1991;Simons & Murphy, 1985). Finally, studies on youth suicide have identified substance use as a significant correlate of suicidal ideation (Kandel, Raveis & Davies, 1991;Metha et al, 1998;Prinstein et al, 2000;Reynolds and Mazza, 1994).…”

Objective: A multivariate model was developed incorporating various sociodemographic, social-environmental, and social-psychological factors in an attempt to predict suicidal ideation among Canadian youth. The main research objective sought to determine what socially-based factors elevate or reduce suicidal ideation within this population. Methods: Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Children and YouthCycle 5 (2003), a cross-sectional sample of 1,032 was used to empirically identify various social determinants of suicidal ideation among youth between the ages of 12 and 15. Results: Results reveal statistically significant correlations between suicide ideation and some lesser examined socially-based measures. In particular, ability to communicate feelings, negative attachment to parents/guardians, taunting/bullying or abuse, and presence of deviant peers were significant predictors of suicidal ideation. As expected, depression/anxiety, gender, and age were also correlated with thoughts of suicide. Conclusions: Research findings should help foster a better understanding towards the social elements of suicide and provide insight into how suicide prevention strategies may be improved through an increased emphasis on substance use education, direct targeting of dysfunctional families and deviant peer groups, and exploring more avenues of selfexpression for youth.
