“…Detailed review of this body of evidence is beyond the scope of this article (readers are referred to Blumenthal, 1990;Fergusson & Lynskey, 1995a;Fergusson, Woodward, & Horwood, 2000;Gould & Kramer, 2001;Gould et al, 2003;Lewinsohn et al, 1996;Moscicki, 1995Moscicki, , 1997Reynolds & Mazza, 1994;Roberts, 2000;Shaffer & Hicks, 1992). Most of the evidence is cross-sectional.…”

“…Factors associated with suicidal behaviors emanating from concurrent or retrospective data may be in fact consequences of suicidality or factors that sustain suicidality and not necessarily those involved in the etiology of such behavior (Eaton, 1995;Roberts, 2000). For questions about etiology, we need incidence data generated by prospective studies from which temporal order can be more clearly established.…”

“…Given its public health significance, our understanding of the epidemiology of suicidal behavior is surprisingly limited (Gould Greenberg, Velting, et al, 2003;Roberts, 2000;Safer, 1996;Satcher, 1998). Over a decade ago, Van Egmond and Diekstra (1990) concluded that research in the previous 25 years had made little headway in prediction of suicidality.…”

“…Studies that have examined the epidemiology of suicide attempts among youths have in general had a number of limitations (see, for example, Lewinsohn, Rohde, & Seeley, 1994;Roberts, 2000;Van Egmond & Diekstra, 1990). Historically, the array of risk and protective factors examined in any given study typically has involved only a limited number of factors suspected to play a role in the etiology of suicide attempts.…”

The goal of this study was to estimate incidence of adolescent suicide attempts and predictors of attempts. Data were collected using diagnostic interviews and questionnaires with a sample of 4,175 youths 11-17 and 3,134 followed-up a year later. Total incidence was 0.95% and first incidence 0.84% for attempts. We found few significant independent predictors of attempts. Multivariate analyses identified only 2 independent predictors of first incidence (marijuana use and caregiver attempts). We did find evidence for cumulative effects of risk factors, with increased odds of attempts with increasing number of risk factors. The difficulty in identifying a common set of modifiable risk factors continues to make development of effective interventions difficult. However, based on our results and those of other researchers, the impact of the cumulative risk conferred by multiple factors would seem to offer a viable strategy for reducing risk of suicide attempts as well as other mental health outcomes among adolescents.

“…D espite an accumulation of studies documenting the persistently low use of mental health services by Latino children, [1][2][3][4][5] there is limited understanding of this phenomenon. Even after health system changes in Puerto Rico to improve access, less than half of Puerto Rican children with psychiatric diagnosis and impairment receive mental health services, 6 similar to the patterns observed 10 years ago.…”
