“…The construct validity of the YSR has been extensively documented in this age group. Its reliability and validity have been demonstrated in inpatient samples (Thurber and Hollingsworth 1992). The YSR was completed at T1 (n=268), T2 (n=211), and T3 (n=218).…”

The consequences of aggression on problem course and suicide risk were examined in 270 acutely suicidal adolescents (ages 12-17 years; 184 girls). Participants were assessed during psychiatric hospitalization (T1), 6-months post-hospitalization (T2), and 15 or more months post-hospitalization (T3). Study variables included self- and parent-reported aggression; self-reported internalizing symptoms, suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and adverse events; and clinician-rated suicidal behavior. Aggression was not directly related to suicide attempt concurrently or prospectively. However, among more aggressive youth, internalizing symptoms were more predictive of T3 suicide attempt than among less aggressive youth. T1 aggression predicted aggressive incidents and the likelihood of incarceration prior to T3. Two-level hierarchical linear modeling indicated that self-reported aggression and internalizing problems were linked in terms of severity and rates of decline over time. Overall, parent-reported aggression was negatively associated with suicidal ideation. Findings highlight (a) the continuity and consequences of aggression, (b) a possible role of aggression in worsening suicide risk factors and potentiating suicide attempt, and (c) the importance of ongoing research on subtypes of suicidal adolescents.

SUMMARYRacial differences in familial factors, psychopathology, perceptions of social support, and socioeconomic status were examined in a matched sample of African American and White suicidal adolescents (N = 90) during a psychiatric hospitalization. Exploratory analyses suggest that significant differences were found in family support and its association with psychopathology, but most noteworthy were the many similarities between the two adolescent groups. The results presented in this study represent new knowledge on the characteristics of African-American adolescents at high risk of suicidal behavior, and replace conventional wisdom with empirical knowledge about an aspect of human behavior for this population. Implications for social work practice, suicide prevention, and future research are discussed.

“…It has two broadband scales (internalizing and externalizing) that have demonstrated good construct validity and correlations with related self-report measures (Thurber and Hollingsworth 1992). For the sample from which these participants were selected (YST – II study), internal consistency was .89 for the internalizing scale and .86 for the externalizing.…”

Objective Describe suicidal ideation and suicide related/other emergencies (SRE), among depressed and acutely suicidal adolescents during a 3-month period following psychiatric hospitalization. Methods 120 adolescents, who were both depressed and suicidal, were receiving an SSRI either alone or in combination with other medications, remained on a consistent medication regimen between baseline and at 3-months and their three month outcome data were available. The participants were divided into four medication groups: SSRI antidepressant only (n = 71); SSRI plus mood stabilizer (n = 17); SSRI plus antipsychotic (n = 20); and SSRI plus antipsychotic and mood stabilizer (n = 12). Standardized instruments were used. Results Mean age = 15.5 ±1.3, Caucasian = 80.8%, female = 74.2%, mean CDRS-R = 61.7 ± 12.1, suicide attempt during month prior to hospitalization = 58.6%. During the 3-month post-hospitalization period: (1) There were no suicides, six participants (5%) attempted suicide and 21 (17.5 %) experienced an SRE; (2) decline in suicidal ideation and depression severity was noted; (3) SSRI plus an antipsychotic group reported the highest number of SREs; (4) Higher baseline hopelessness and aggression scores were associated with greater reduction in suicidal ideation at 3-months. Conclusion Declines in suicidal ideation, depression severity, and suicide attempts were noted, irrespective of psychotropic-combination received. A higher rate of SREs was associated with receiving an antipsychotic agent in combination with an SSRI. Given naturalistic design of study, cause-effect conclusions cannot be drawn. The lack of an objective measure to identify medication adherence is a study limitation.
