“…These findings are supported by the literature that shows significant associations between substance use and suicidal ideation. 22,23 The non-significant associations found regarding drunkenness and tobacco use may be explained by the low proportion of teenagers who got drunk during the last month as well as by the large number of young people who smoked cigarettes just for experimentation without being exposed to the damages and consequences of this habit.…”

“…26,27 In 28 Depression was also related to suicidal ideation and it seems to be a strong evidence endorsed by the scientific literature about this issue. 23,29 Because suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are associated with increased risk for future completed suicide, and the fact that studies suggest the presence of a possible severity gradient, beginning with suicide ideation (thoughts, ideas, planning and desire of self killing), and proceeding with suicide attempts and finally consummated suicide, 30 interventions must be established at an early stage. Given the results of this study, strategies to prevent suicide behaviors in early adolescence must target mainly sexually active female teenagers that present symptoms indicative of mental health problems and substance use.…”

Objective: To verify the prevalence and associated factors of suicidal ideation among adolescents aged 11 to 15 years. Method: Crosssectional population-based study. Adolescents completed a self-report that contained the Children's Depression Inventory. Suicidal ideation was measured according to item 9 of the Children's Depression Inventory. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied using a hierarchical model. Results: 1145 adolescents were invited to participate, and 1039 were interviewed (refusal rate: 9.26%). The prevalence of suicidal ideation was 14.1%. Factors associated to suicidal ideation: female gender, current alcohol consumption, use of illicit drugs, symptoms indicating conduct disorders and high Children's Depression Inventory scores for depressive symptoms. Conclusion: Prevention strategies should focus on female adolescents, especially those sexually active with probable mental health problems and substance use. Descriptors IntroductionHigh rates of suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation became a public health problem. In adolescence, suicide is the third leading cause of death.

Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a widespread yet often hidden problem in adolescents and young adults. Though most DSH can be classified as "non-suicidal self-cutting", some do go on to commit suicide. In this paper, deliberate self-harm is examined, including its prevalence, etiology, management, and future research directions using self-cutting and self-burning as examples. This article reviews recent literature to help understand what is known about self-cutting behavior and its potential relationship to suicide as well as provide direction for research. Research shows that different ecological factors at the individual, family, peer, and societal levels are related to deliberate self-harm. Although there is an association between some self-injurers and drug abuse (including alcohol abuse) as well as eating disorders, there are various subgroups of self-cutters and most are not at high risk for suicide. However, all acts of self-injury should be taken seriously by health care professionals and comprehensive therapy offered to any adolescent with a history of DSH. Future research directions on deliberate self-harm are also discussed. (Keio J Med 58 (3) : 144 -151, September 2009)
