Predictors of suicidal behavior in a high school student population: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

This study suggests that suicide attempts are associated with other risk behaviors. These behaviors may help to evaluate suicide risk and should be considered when establishing preventive programs.

Body weight perception among high school students and its influence on weight management behaviors in normal weight students: a cross-sectional study

“…Th e students completed a self-administered questionnaire in their classrooms. Further details on the survey instrument, study procedures, sampling, and study population are provided elsewhere [18]. Approximately 1% of the sample was not included in the analyses due to missing data for height or weight.…”

Study of Some Psychoactive Drugs and Their Role in Increasing the Risk of Suicide

“…The age of the students was between 18-29 years, with an average age of 21.06 years and a standard deviation of 1.529 years. A transversal population study was conducted using the Health Risks Questionnaire for Teenagers and Young People [13,14]. The study was approved by the Ethics Commission of the Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy Timisoara, in accordance to the rules of the Helsinki Declaration and to some reported models [15][16][17].…”

The Association between School Class Composition and Suicidal Ideation in Late Adolescence: Findings from the Young-HUNT 3 Study

“…If such problems were unequally distributed according to gender composition in our sample, the inclusion of these variables could then remove or reduce the observed effect. Finally, the individual effect of gender disappears when controlling for gender composition, suggesting that the gender differences in suicidal ideation previously observed in the literature [15][16][17][18][19] may partially be explained by the social context.…”

“…Both socioeconomic status and gender are background characteristics often found to be associated with suicidal ideation and mental health. For adolescents, a higher level of parental socioeconomic status is usually associated with fewer mental health problems [13,14], while girls tend to have a higher prevalence of suicidal ideation compared to boys [3,[15][16][17][18][19]. If the probability of having suicidal ideation increases as a result of extensive contact with at-risk individuals, then the probability of suicidal ideation should be higher in school classes containing a greater proportion of girls or of students with low socioeconomic background.…”
