“…Moreover, social-environmental factors such as peer, school, and parental attachments are thought to act as protective measures against suicide (Kidd et al, 2006). Put another way, suicidal youths are more likely to exhibit weak attachments (DiFilippo & Overholser, 2000;Kandel, Raveis, & Davies, 1991;Perkins & Hartless, 2002).…”

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.

“…Specifically, low levels of friendship quality and social self-concept have been empirically linked to suicidal ideation (Lewinsohn, Rohde & Seeley, 1993;Prinstein et al, 2000). Similarly, the absence of a positive school environment is also significantly correlated with suicidality (Kidd et al, 2006;Perkins & Hartless, 2002).…”

“…It has also been suggested that suicidal ideation could be more common within schools or classrooms because associating with suicidal people has been shown to "spread" suicidal thoughts to others. 15,16 According to a major psychological theory -the ecological-transactional model 15,17 social behaviours are also affected by ecological context, such as (in hierarchical order) neighbourhood, community, school, peer and family groups. Multilevel modelling allows us to explore the importance of social context by dividing the total variation into individuals and groups to be assessed separately.…”

OBJECTIVES: To examine whether bullying victimization, psychological status, parental and peer relationships and other risk factors are associated with suicidal ideation and to identify high-risk neighbourhoods for suicidal ideation among the elementary school children in Saskatoon Health Region. METHODS:A sample of school students (n = 5340, grades 5-8; ages 9-14 years) from 109 elementary schools in Saskatoon Health Region, Saskatchewan completed the Student Health Survey in 2010-2011. A multilevel logistic regression model was used to investigate the hierarchical data structure at student, grade and school levels. Bayesian spatial analysis was conducted to examine the spatial disparity in the risk of suicidal ideation among residential neighbourhoods.RESULTS: Of 5,340 children, 340 (6.4%) indicated they had considered suicide at least once in the previous 12 months. Our findings indicated that school children who were frequently verbally or electronically bullied were more likely to report suicidal thoughts than those who were not bullied. Students who were more depressed or anxious, and those with lower self-esteem and poorer relationships with their parents were also more likely to report suicidal ideation. The Aboriginal elementary school students and those from the west side of the city were at a higher risk of having suicidal ideation.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest the need for targeted intervention strategies on suicidal ideation among the elementary school children in Saskatoon Health Region, before they reach high school.KEY WORDS: Suicidal ideation; bullying; psychological factors; Aboriginals; multilevel analysis; Bayesian spatial models La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article.

“…D'autres indices appuient cette hypothèse selon laquelle la supervision et le soutien émotionnel des parents sont essentiels à l'adolescence et qu'ils ont une infl uence sur les comportements suicidaires (Flouri et Buchanan, 2002 ;Perkins et Hartless, 2002 ;Flouri, 2005 ;Kidd et al, 2006). Les adolescents délinquants qui présentent un profi l suicidaire perçoivent leurs parents comme peu chaleureux et se sentent fréquemment rejetés par ces derniers .…”

Bien que l’on observe une diminution marquée de la mortalité par suicide chez les jeunes au cours des dernières années, le suicide représente la deuxième cause de mortalité chez les 15-19 ans et la première chez les 20-34 ans. Les délinquants juvéniles constituent un groupe à risque accru de comportements suicidaires, mais les facteurs de risque chez cette population sont encore peu étudiés. Cet article présente les principaux facteurs de risque et de protection associés au risque suicidaire chez les jeunes contrevenants en les intégrant dans un modèle interactif. Parmi les facteurs pris en compte dans le modèle se trouvent les facteurs liés aux événements de vie, les facteurs individuels (psychopathologie, consommation de substances psychotropes et/ou d’alcool, caractéristiques individuelles et de personnalité), les facteurs sociaux (famille, réseau social) et les facteurs résidentiels (milieu de vie et voisinage, école, milieu résidentiel pour jeunes contrevenants). Afin d’appuyer le modèle interactif présenté, le cas d’un adolescent jeune contrevenant, Olivier, est exposé.Although a marked decrease is observed in recent years, suicide is the second cause of mortality for 15-19 year olds, and the first cause for 20-34 year olds. Juvenile offenders have a higher risk of suicidal behaviours, but risk factors in this population are not well studied. This paper presents the principal risk and protection factors associated with juvenile offender suicide risk by integrating them in an interactive model. Among the factors taken into account in the model are factors related to life events, individual factors (psychopathology, substance abuse, individual and personality characteristics), social factors (family, social network) and living factors (life environment and neighbourhood, school, residential facilities for young offenders). The case study of a teenage young offender – Olivier – is presented in order to support the interactive model.Aunque ha disminuido considerablemente en años recientes, el suicidio es la segunda causa de mortalidad para la población de 15 a 19 años y la primera en la de 20 a 34 años. A pesar de que la delincuencia es un factor de riesgo de suicidio adicional entre los jóvenes, los estudios al respecto son todavía escasos. Este artículo presenta los principales factores de riesgo y de protección asociados al suicidio entre los jóvenes infractores, integrando dichos factores en un modelo interactivo. Entre los factores tomados en cuenta en el modelo tenemos los ligados a eventos de sus vidas, los individuales (psicopatología, consumo de sustancias psicotrópicas o alcohol, características individuales y de personalidad), y factores sociales (familia, red social) y los factores residenciales (medio de vida y vecindario, escuela, medio residencial para jóvenes infractores). Se presenta también el caso de Olivier, joven infractor, con el fin de ilustrar el funcionamiento del modelo interactivo
