Abstract

This study sought to identify factors related to stress that predict suicide ideation among adolescents. The sample consisted of 425 students aged 14 to 18 years. Multiple regression analysis revealed that recency and degree of stress were significant in the prediction of degree and recency of suicide ideation. The implications of these and other findings for prevention and intervention (e.g., health education, parent workshops, and adolescent support groups) are discussed.
