ABSTRACT
Background & Aim: The current study examined non-attempters,
attempters and repeaters of suicide attempts in relation to stressful
life events and their levels of depression symptoms in an extracted
subset that was followed up from adolescence into early adulthood.
Did repeaters consistently report more stressful events and depression than single attempters and non-attempters? If yes, was this increase of events located in the family or at school or in the domain of self and friends? Method: A representative sample of high school students (T1, n = 2464, mean age = 13.7 years, 50.8% female, 88.3% participation) was re-assessed with the same questionnaire after a year (T2Q). High scorers of depression on the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ) were matched for gender and age with low-and-middle scorers and assessed diagnostically by face-to-face interviews at T2I (n = 345, 94% participation). The interviewed subset was reassessed again 5 years later (T3) with the same questionnaire (n = 252, mean age = 20.0 years, 73% participation) and by telephone interviews. Stressful events were detected from a list of three domains. Results: Repeaters of suicide attempts reported more stressful events and were consistently more depressed. Differences in domains of stressful life events were also observed.
Conclusion: Interventions including healthy coping in relation to
stressful events and depression among adolescents may prevent
suicide. Key words: longitudinal, K-SADS, adolescents, young adults.
