However, no study has directly investigated the link between neighborhood poverty and youth suicidal behaviors, while controlling for pre-existing vulnerabilities. The objective of this study was to determine whether living in a poor neighborhood is associated with suicidal thoughts and attempts in late adolescence over and above background vulnerabilities, and whether this association can be explained by late-adolescence psychosocial risks: depression, social support, negative life events (NLEs), delinquent activities, substance abuse and exposure to suicide. The potential moderating role of neighborhood poverty was also examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329170800456X_sec_a002\"><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>A subset of 2776 participants was selected from the Canadian National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY). Late-adolescence suicidal behaviors and risk factors were self-reported. The 2001 Canadian Census was used to characterize neighborhoods during early and middle adolescence. Late-childhood family and individual controls were assessed through parent-report.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329170800456X_sec_a003\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At the bivariate level, the odds of reporting suicidal thoughts were about twice as high in poor than non-poor neighborhoods, and the odds of attempting suicide were about four times higher. After controlling for background vulnerabilities, neighborhood poverty remained significantly associated with both suicidal thoughts and attempts. However, these associations were not explained by late-adolescence psychosocial risks. Rather, youth living in poor neighborhoods may be at greater risk through the amplification of other risk factors in disadvantaged neighborhoods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S003329170800456X_sec_a004\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Potential explanations for the increased vulnerability of youth living in poor neighborhoods are discussed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s003329170800456x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,10]],"date-time":"2008-10-10T08:46:58Z","timestamp":1223628418000},"page":"1295-1306","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":114,"title":["Neighborhood poverty and suicidal thoughts and attempts in late adolescence"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"V.","family":"Dup\u00e9r\u00e9","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Leventhal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"\u00c9.","family":"Lacourse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,10,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1375\/twin.9.1.1"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-8624.2008.01199.x"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpedi.153.6.573"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref048","volume-title":"Evaluating and Treating Adolescent Suicide Attempters: From Research to Practice","author":"Spirito","year":"2003"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref033","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1521\/suli.2005.35.4.448"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref034","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4278\/0890-1171-18.5.378"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref019","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1602704"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref059","volume-title":"A Measure of Socioeconomic Status for the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth","author":"Willms","year":"1996"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref016","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.CHI.0000046821.95464.CF"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref025","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0954579403000105"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref018","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002214650504600204"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref026","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.63.5.562"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref022","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.56.7.617"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref038","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-200205000-00007"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref044","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/2676304"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref017","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.161.8.1442"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref024","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-8624.t01-1-00510"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref001","volume-title":"Missing Data","author":"Allison","year":"2001"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref054","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1994.03950090064009"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref060","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.62.5.554"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref030","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291704003757"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref055","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9531.2007.00180.x"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref056","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291798007867"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref057","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1519758"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.2006.052365"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.1987.01800210078012"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref036","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.chi.0000142667.52062.1e"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1015483317310"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref039","first-page":"65","article-title":"Validity of a 12-item version of the CES-D used in the National Longitudinal Study of Children and Youth","volume":"26","author":"Poulin","year":"2005","journal-title":"Chronic Diseases in Canada"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jech.54.7.517"},{"key":"S003329170800456X_ref023","unstructured":"Kirmayer LJ , Brass GM , Holton T , Paul K , Simpson C , Tait C (2007).
