abstract="The objective is to identify correlates of depression, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt in adolescents. 508 males and 428 females, with a mean age of 13.7, from the Center of Mexico City, participated. A self-administered questionnaire was applied. The results indicate that students presenting depression and/or suicidal ideation have higher conflict levels with their father and/or mother, their parents argue over economic problems, lower self-esteem, higher levels of impulsivity, do not have a good relationship with their father and/or mother, and use aggressive coping responses. The prevalence of suicide attempt in men is 7% and in women is 17%. Impulsive women and men had higher risk of previous suicide attempt. For men, aggressive coping responses were associated with higher risk. For women, having a conflictive relationship with the father and/or mother and that the parents argue about economic problems indicated a greater risk. These results could contribute to prevention to identify students at risk to facilitate timely reference to health mental services. Copyright © 2003 Psicothema.<p /><p>Language: es</p>",
