“…Adolescent suicide is one of the most worrisome consequences of drug addiction and mental health problems. In particular, the concomitant presence of major depression and substance-use-related problem (alcohol or drug) increases the risk of suicidal behaviors (Dougherty, 2007;Renaud, Berlim, McGirr, Tousignant, & Turecki, 2008;Yaldizli, Kuhl, Graf, Wiesbeck, & Wurst, 2010). Our results shed light on the need to detect and assess mental health problems in youth in treatment for drug addiction, taking into account issues related to risks of attempting suicide.…”

This study aimed to assess covariates of drug use trajectories among 102 adolescents admitted to a drug user treatment program between November 2005 and November 2006 in Québec, Canada. The influences of mental health, therapeutic alliance, and treatment persistence were examined. The Addiction Severity Index was used to measure drug use severity and mental health problems; the California Psychotherapy Alliance Scales was used for therapeutic alliance. latent growth curve analysis showed associations between (1) mental health and initial drug use severity; (2) therapeutic alliance and initial drug use severity; and (3) number of post-treatment sessions attended and drug use severity over time.

“…Risk factors for the completed suicide encompass many facets of adolescent experience such as psychosocial dynamics, substance abuse issues, family history and challenges, psychiatric issues, and societal expectations (Dougherty, 2007). All of which may lead to suicide via particular methods.…”

This study explored the lived experiences of seven adolescents who had attempted suicide and to determine the factors associated with their decision to commit suicide, the coping mechanisms they adopted after the suicide attempt, and the possible intervention program that can be implemented in order to prevent suicide in the first place. A multiple case study and phenomenological approach was used to delve into the experiences and real-life stories of adolescents who had attempted to end their life. Data were gathered through the use of semi-structured interviews. Respondents ranged in age from 16 to 21 years old and were from a selected high school and college in Surigao del Sur. Thematic analysis of recordings revealed several factors associated with adolescent suicide including family issues, stressful life events, low self-image, helplessness, hopelessness, lack of coping skills, and coping. Contributory factors were family conflict, family disruption, rejection, maltreatment, and history of family suicide. The most common themes relevant to coping were acceptance, realization, focus on studies, presence of supportive people, positive thinking, prayer, and faith in God. Based on the findings, a school-based intervention program to promote mental health as well as early detection and appropriate interventions for students who are at risk for suicide is proposed.
