The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.      Suicide research typically examines one of four fundamental risk factors (e.g. family dysfunction, family suicide history, poor health [mental and physical], and personal difficulty). Utilizing measures for each of these risk-factors, we develop and test a model that identifies risk factors for suicidal ideation among 428 homeless youth in eight Midwestern cities. Using structural equation modeling, results indicate that family dysfunction and family suicide history indirectly affect the ideation of homeless youth. Additionally, having met lifetime criteria for mental health diagnosis, such as substance use/abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder and major depression, our sample of youth are more likely to deliberately harm themselves before considering suicide.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
