Aims: To conduct a preliminary investigation of risk factors associated with suicide ideation and attempt among youths in Western Jamaica. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 342 adolescents aged 10\u201319 years from 19 schools. Results: Multivariate analysis showed that a history of self-violence, violent thoughts toward others, mental health diagnoses other than depression, and a history of sexual abuse were positively associated with suicide attempt. Sexual abuse, mental health diagnoses other than depression, self-violence, and ease of access to lethal substances\/weapons were positively associated with suicide ideation. Conclusions: We found a relatively high prevalence of suicide ideation and suicide attempts among adolescents living in Western Jamaica. An accurate understanding of the prevailing risk factors for suicide attempts will promote a more sympathetic approach to victims and facilitate prevention efforts. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910\/a000038","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,30]],"date-time":"2010-12-30T10:08:33Z","timestamp":1293703713000},"page":"317-327","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Suicidal Ideation and Suicide Attempt Among Adolescents in Western Jamaica"],"prefix":"10.1027","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Omobolawa Y.","family":"Kukoyi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faisal M.","family":"Shuaib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheila","family":"Campbell-Forrester","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Montego Bay, Jamaica"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisabeth","family":"Crossman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Montego Bay, Jamaica"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pauline E.","family":"Jolly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1054-139X(00)00197-X"},{"key":"c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/j.1440-1614.2000.00691.x"},{"key":"c3","first-page":"181","volume":"1","author":"Bertolote J.
