Perceived parental competence was defined as youths' appraisal of caregivers' support, responsiveness, monitoring, communication, and boundary-setting, and was modeled as the dependent variable rather than as a causal determinant of adolescent outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A quantitative, cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted with 1,005 adolescents from three convenience-selected school settings representing urban Manizales, semi-urban Anserma, and rural Bah\u00eda Solano, Colombia. Participation was voluntary and exceeded 95% of eligible students in the selected schools. All measures were administered in Spanish and completed by adolescents as self-report questionnaires. The PANSI was operationalized as a risk-oriented suicidal ideation score by combining negative ideation items with reverse-coded protective ideation items. The CRAFFT-related variable was analyzed as a continuous substance-use screening score, not as a categorical risk classification.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Perceived parental competence was positively correlated with life satisfaction (r\u2009=\u20090.362,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and resilience (r\u2009=\u20090.283,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and negatively correlated with depressive symptoms (r\u2009=\u2009-0.278,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and risk-oriented suicidal ideation (r\u2009=\u2009\u22120.354,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The continuous substance-use screening score showed a small positive bivariate association with perceived parental competence (r\u2009=\u20090.114,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), but it was not retained in the final regression model. The final model retained life satisfaction, origin, resilience, risk-oriented suicidal ideation, depressive symptoms, and frustration tolerance, explaining 26.4% of the variance in perceived parental competence.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Youth-perceived parental competence was mainly associated with higher life satisfaction, greater resilience, fewer depressive symptoms, and lower risk-oriented suicidal ideation. The CRAFFT-related score should be interpreted only as a continuous screening indicator derived from the available questionnaire coding, not as a validated categorical classification of substance-use risk. The cross-sectional design precludes causal interpretation, but the findings support assessing adolescent perceptions of parental responsiveness and monitoring as relational indicators in school and community mental health strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
