Correlates of suicidal ideation in French-Canadian adolescents: personal variables, stress, and social support.
Two hundred seventy-two French-Canadian adolescent males and 286 females participated in a study of the relationship between suicidal ideation and selected personal variables, stress, and social support. Results of multivariate analyses indicated that suicidal ideation was positively related to depression, negative stress, and drug and alcohol use, and negatively related to self-esteem, satisfaction with social support, and school absenteeism.
