“…A similar trend seems to have taken place in boys (age of spermarche) but is harder to document. A number of authors have tried to attribute secular changes in emotional disturbances in adolescence to this change (Hamburg, 1989;Fombonne, 1992). However, although earlier puberty might explain earlier onset of depressive conditions or earlier occurrence of suicidal behaviours, given the validity of the assumption that puberty as such contributes to risk, an issue that has to be settled yet (Angold & Rutter, 1992).…”

A lot of studies have been executed in the field of suicide, suicide attempts and suicidal thoughts in adolescence. This paper reviews the scientific literature of the past two decadeson the following subjects: international epidemiology and trcnds.correlates of suicidal behaviour (environmental factors. psychological and psychopathological factors. behavioural factors, biological changes), and prevention. Of these subjects. the knowledge on epidemiology Seems the least puzzling. Reasonably sound conclusions about the Occurrence and bends in adolescent suicidal behaviour can be drawn, as far as Europe and the United States are concerned. Knowledge about the comlates of suicidal behaviour however, is less transparent. sometimes contradictory and valuable new information seems scarce. The establishment of the relation between suicidal behaviourand other problematic behavioun and psychological states and psychiatrical disturbances, such as depression. is difficult. A shift in objective from suicidal behaviour as a single dependent variable to suicidal behaviour as pan of a larger concept. such as a style concerning problematic reactions to problematic situations, is suggested.

“…Experimentation with cigarettes has been described as part of adolescents' developmentally based exploration, in search for individuation (31)(32)(33)(34). Our results showed that survivors are less likely to experiment with occasional cigarette smoking than their siblings and thereby have reduced their overall cigarette use.…”

Background: Health-related behaviors are of particular concern in survivors of childhood cancer as they are at increased risk for second cancers and long-term organ dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to compare the smoking behavior and associated factors in young-adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with those in sibling controls. Methods: A telephone interview that surveyed smoking behavior was conducted with 592 young-adult survivors, treated before age 20 years on Children's Cancer Group ALL protocols, and 409 sibling controls. Using stratified chi-squared analyses and Cox proportional hazards models, we compared the rates of smoking initiation and smoking cessation between survivors and control subjects. Demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, and education) and psychological factors (mood and self-concept) were examined as predictors interacting with survivorship in logistic regression analyses to try to distinguish a subgroup of survivors who may be at greater risk for smoking. Results: Survivors were significantly less likely to have ever smoked (23.0% versus 35.7%; P<.0001) and thus were less likely to ever be regular, daily smokers than sibling controls (19.1% versus 31.3%; P<.0001). Survivors were less likely to quit smoking than sibling controls (26.6% versus 35.2%), although this result was not statistically signifi-

“…This mix of social pathologies and their implications for schooling has yet to be resolved. It is clear that the gaps are wide between the current middle school curriculum and the expectations of society for the education of young adolescents (Beane, 1990;Hamburg, 1987;Lounsbury, 1990Lounsbury, , 1991. ' Insights obtained from a social, and institutional analysis of schooling for young adolescents suggest a curriculum that extends beyond classrooms and textbooks (Bybee, 1990).…”
