Adolescent gender differences in suicide-related behaviors

Utilizing data as well as factor analysis and multiple regression results from the previously published study, ''Risk Factors Related to Suicidal Behavior Among Male and Female Adolescents'' [(1996), Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 25, pp. 149-160], this follow-up study examined gender differences in risk factors that increase the probability of self-reported suicidal behavior among seventh through twelfth grade students (N = 3461) in a northern Midwest school district The logistic regression results revealed significant gender differences in that the demonstration of more aggressive behaviors increased the likelihood of males reporting suicidal behavior.
