“…Therefore, prospective studies of SA etiology that span the period from childhood to adolescence when risk emerges may be especially informative, particularly if data are gathered from both parents and youth, yet few published studies have met these standards (Fergusson, Woodward, & Horwood, 2000; King, Kerr, Passarelli et al, 2010; Lieb, Bronisch, Hofler et al, 2005; Melhem, Brent, Ziegler et al, 2007). These rigorous prospective studies were an important step forward although they were limited to the use of low-risk community samples (Fergusson, Woodward, & Horwood, 2000; Lieb, Bronisch, Hofler et al, 2005) or very high risk clinical, psychiatric samples (King, Kerr, Passarelli et al, 2010; Melhem, Brent, Ziegler et al, 2007), with unclear generalizability to other populations.…”

“…The purpose of the current investigation was to add to the small database of prospective studies of SA in youth that span childhood and adolescence and include detailed interviews from parents and children (Fergusson et al, 2000; King et al, 2010; Lieb et al, 2005; Melhem et al, 2007), and to conduct the first such study in children of parents with AUD. Informed by Brent and Mann’s (2006) ideas, we examined the influences of parent SA, depression, and externalizing psychopathology on these behaviors in youth assessed during childhood and approximately five years later, during adolescence.…”

Parents with psychopathology such as alcohol use disorder (AUD) that confers risk for suicide attempt (SA) may have children who are more likely to develop such psychopathology and to attempt suicide, suggesting that risk may be “transmitted” from parents to children. We examined this phenomenon during the transition from childhood to adolescence, when risk for SA increases dramatically. A cohort of 418 children were examined at average age 9.4 (range 7–14) years at enrollment (Time 1, childhood) and approximately five years later, prior to reaching age 18 (Time 2, adolescence). One or both biological parents, oversampled for AUD, were also interviewed. Structural equation models (SEM) examined father-child, mother-child, and either/both parent-child associations. The primary outcome was SA over follow-up among offspring, assessed at Time 2. As hypothesized, parental antisocial personality disorder predicted conduct disorder symptoms in offspring both during childhood and adolescence (parent-child model, father-child model) and maternal AUD predicted conduct disorder symptoms during childhood (mother-child model). However, we did not find evidence to support transmission of depression from parents to offspring either during childhood or adolescence, and parent psychopathology did not show statistically significant associations with SA during adolescence. In conclusion, we conducted a rare study of parent-to-child “transmission” of risk for SA that used a prospective research design, included diagnostic interviews with both parents and offspring, and examined the transition from childhood to adolescence, and the first such study in children of parents with AUD. Results provided mixed support for hypothesized parent-child associations.

“…Given that SI is one of the strongest predictors of future suicidal behavior (King, Kerr, Passarelli, Foster, & Merchant, 2010), research that examines factors that help explain the association between child maltreatment and SI is of significant importance. The purpose of the present study is to examine potential mediators and moderators of this relationship in an adolescent psychiatric inpatient sample.…”

Objective The present study, informed by the cognitive-behavioral theory of suicide, is among the first studies to examine cognitive distortions and substance related problems as potential mediators and moderators of the relation between child maltreatment (CM) and suicidal ideation (SI) in adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Method The sample included 185 adolescents (71.4% female; 84% White) admitted to a psychiatric inpatient unit. Participants completed self-report measures assessing cognitive errors, negative cognitive triad, substance related problems, and SI. Participants and their parents completed a semi-structured diagnostic interview assessing CM history. Results In this clinical sample, we found that child maltreatment was associated with suicidal ideation only for youth with current substance abuse problems, indicating moderation. Contrary to predictions, substance related problems did not mediate the association between child maltreatment and adolescent SI. Further, cognitive errors and negative cognitive triad did not mediate or moderate the association between CM and SI. However, there were significant unique effects for both cognitive errors and negative cognitive triad on SI, suggesting that adolescents with more severe cognitive distortions report greater SI, regardless of CM history. Conclusions Clinically, results suggest that practitioners should carefully screen for and address any substance misuse among victims of maltreatment to prevent clinically significant SI. Study results also suggest that interventions that incorporate cognitive restructuring may help decrease risk for severe SI in adolescent clinical samples in general.
