Monitoring suicidal ideation trends and risk factors among Dutch youth during and following the COVID-19 pandemic
This study reveals how the COVID-19 context influenced Dutch youth suicidal ideation trends, emphasizing that pandemic-era suicide prevention should focus on loneliness and poor psychological well-being. However, there is no need for significant adaptation to different stages of the pandemic, as key risk factors and their associations with suicidal ideation remained consistent across survey waves.
