About the Course

Suicidal thought and non-suicidal self-harm are common in adolescents. Though both are strongly associated with suicide attempts, most adolescents who admit these indicators do not attempt suicide. This article explores predictors of future suicide attempts in these high-risk groups.

This course is based on the article, Predictors of future suicide attempt among adolescents with suicidal thoughts or non-suicidal self-harm: a population-based birth cohort study created by Becky Mars, PhD. et al. in 2019.
