Predictors of Suicide Attempts and Reattempts in a Sample of Chilean Adolescents
In our sample, clinical and trauma-related factors emerged as the most important factors in predicting suicide attempts. Although age, sexual orientation and family dysfunction also played a notable role, positive relationships with parents seemed to be protective. In addition, current symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression significantly increased the likelihood of reattempts. These findings provide valuable knowledge about suicidality in Chile, although further research is needed to expand the evidence in our media.
