“…In a follow-up of over 25 years, they found that adolescents with suicidal ideation were, at the age of 30, more than twice as likely to suff er from an Axis I disorder, about 12 times more likely to attempt suicide, and presented low self-esteem, signifi cant interpersonal problems and impaired overall functioning. Simultaneously, these individuals seemed to experience more negative events throughout life (Horesh, Nachshoni, Wolmer, & Toren, 2009;Liu & Tein, 2005;Thompson et al, 2012).…”

-The present study aims to identify psychological predictors of suicidal ideation in university students. We collected a sample of 366 participants, representing a population of 7102 students from a university in northern Portugal (95% CI). Both in the whole sample and in the intra-gender analysis, students with suicidal ideation revealed higher levels of depressive symptoms, loneliness, social anxiety and fears of abandonment, and lower levels of comfort with intimacy and trust in others. Loneliness and depression are signifi cant predictors of suicidal ideation, with an odds ratio of 1.095 and 1.108, respectively. The results were consistent with those found in the literature, and call for more research and implementation of intervention protocols in university populations.Keywords: psychological predictors, suicidal ideation, university students Investigando Preditores Psicológicos de Ideação Suicida em Estudantes UniversitáriosRESUMO -Este trabalho buscou investigar preditores psicológicos de ideação suicida em estudantes universitários.

“…Girls reported significantly higher rates of somatic than did boys while aggresive and delinquent behavior higher than girls (Reynolds, O'Koon, Papademetriou, Szczygiel, & Grant, 2001). Recent stressful life events, especially physical and psychological abuse, significantly predicted suicide ideation in youth, even after controlling for a host of other risk factors (Beautrais, 2003;Thompson, Proctor, English, Dubowitz, Narasimhan, & Everson, 2011;Zhang, Wang, Xia, Liu, & Jung, 2012).…”

“…8 The effects of trauma during childhood and adolescence have impacts on adolescent health and educational status, including a greater likelihood of repeating a grade in school, lower resilience, increased risk for learning and behavioral issues, suicidal ideation, and early initiation of sexual activity and pregnancy. 5,[8][9][10] In fact, there is a much higher prevalence of these negative impacts among adolescents aged 12 to 17 after experiencing more than one ACE. With 3 or more ACEs, nearly half (48%) of youth experience low engagement in school, 44% cannot stay calm and controlled, and 41% demonstrate high externalizing behaviors.…”

Adolescents exposed to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have unique developmental needs that must be addressed by the health, education, and social welfare systems that serve them. Nationwide, over half of adolescents have reportedly been exposed to ACEs. This exposure can have detrimental effects, including increased risk for learning and behavioral issues and suicidal ideation. In response, clinical and community systems need to carefully plan and coordinate services to support adolescents who have been exposed to ACEs, with a particular focus on special populations. We discuss how adolescents' needs can be met, including considering confidentiality concerns and emerging independence; tailoring and testing screening tools for specific use with adolescents; identifying effective multipronged and cross-system trauma-informed interventions; and advocating for improved policies.KEYWORDS: adolescent health policy; adolescents; adverse childhood experiences; resilience; trauma ACADEMIC PEDIATRICS 2017;17:S108-S114 ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACEs) are increasingly a focus of both research and interventions nationwide, given emerging evidence of their high prevalence and lifelong health impacts. To date, much of the ACEs literature has focused on children and adults. Greater attention should be paid to the distinct developmental needs of adolescents and how the systems that serve them can more adequately respond.Distinct from both childhood and adulthood, adolescence is a unique developmental stage of rapid growth during which physiologic, cognitive, social, and emotional changes occur simultaneously. During this time (ages 11 to 21 years), adolescents experience physical and sexual maturation, develop more abstract and long-term thinking, and engage in risk-taking behaviors as they establish their independence. Adolescents who have experienced ACEs may be less able to successfully navigate this transformational stage as a result of the damaging effects of traumatic experiences on their emotional and cognitive development and/or lack of or limited positive supports.A large body of research has demonstrated that investments in early childhood can yield significant social and economic returns in adulthood and that this developmental stage should be prioritized for investments, particularly for disadvantaged youth. 1,2 However, this research also supports the notion that to maximize returns, there is a concurrent need to invest resources to address the needs of adolescents, particularly for those who may not have received needed supports in early childhood and/or who continue to experience ACEs into adolescence.Thus, adolescence represents a key window of opportunity to ameliorate the short-and longer-term impacts of trauma and positively alter the life course trajectory. High rates of trauma exposure have led to a pressing need to identify youth who have been exposed; recognize the varied ways in which youth respond to these experiences; identify effective strategies to provide traumainformed care; and d...
