abstract="The aim of the present study is the analysis of the family characteristics associated with suicide attempts among adolescents. Subjects were 54 adolescents aged 13-18 referred to hospital after a suicide attempt and 108 normal comparison adolescents. A case-control study design has been used and they have been matched by age, sex and socioeconomic status. Differences between groups are reported as Odds Ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval. The results in Odds Ratio are as follows: parental losses (OR = 19.00), mental illness in father (OR = 8.67), mental illness in mother (OR = 6.79), mental illness among brothers and sisters (OR = 3.28), poor membership relations (OR = 3.00), not living with both biological parents (OR = 8.06) and unsatisfactory familial adaptation (OR = 7.50). In conclusion, our findings highlight the importance of the familial risk factors and its implications to develop preventive programs for youngs at risk.<p /> <p>Language: es</p>",
