Pillay, Anthony L.; Wassenaar, Douglas R.
Journal of Adolescence, v20 n2 p155-62 Apr 1997
Examined stressors preceding the suicide attempts of 40 adolescents. Results show that 77.5% of the youth reported conflict with their parents in the few hours before the event. Significantly more suicidal subjects experienced family conflict, problems at school, and problems with boy/girlfriends during the preceding six months when compared to a control group. (RJM)
