title: Gender-role conflict and suicidal behaviour in adolescent girls.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This study examined whether gender-role conflict influenced the suicidal behaviour of adolescent girls.
  
  
  METHODS
  We designed a checklist and used it to perform a chart review.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Gender-role conflict was associated with suicidal behaviour in 26.79% of the adolescent girls, and 2.68% of the adolescent boys, that we studied.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Gender-role conflict plays an important role in the suicidal behaviour of girls. At present, there is no published research examining the impact of gender-role conflict on suicidal adolescents.
